WTB: EE in Missouri

[terrif]

I am looking for 16+ week old EE pullets, preferably from NPIP farm with purebred birds. Variety doesn't matter, just wanting some colored eggs.

EE are not purebred. Did you know that? I have EE eggs, if you want to hatch some. I guess I could hatch some for you, if you want. Mine lay pretty light green eggs. I am in Nevada, MO.

You know, after I posted that, I kinda thought to myself it was wrong. But I knew somebody would correct.

I've never had nor checked into those birds before. I appreciate the offer for hatching eggs, but was hopeful of getting some almost ready pullets so I could have eggs this summer.

So, what's the difference between easter eggers and Ameraucana and Araucana?? I thought they were the same thing.

EE lay green, pink, etc eggs, and are not purebreds.
The others lay blue eggs, and are APA approved .... they have only certain colors that are accepted, but have to lay blue eggs.
Here is an article ...

Warrensburg isn't so very far! Revolutionmama has a spare paint EE at point-of-lay she may part with in Lawrence, KS.

PM me if you're interested- she isn't on here all that often and I see her all the time.
