Yellow Easter eggers ?

[Frazzemrat1]

I know EEs can lack normal EE traits (I have a beardless EE), but it seems super unlikely that a hatchery EE would lack all the usual hatchery EE traits.

actually, I find it very common that beardless EE come from hatcheries. Starlight eggers, for instance, are easter eggers.

Good point. I suppose all the new colored egg hybrids are just fancy EEs.

But it's possible.

EEs don’t have a standard. Their legs can be any color.

Never seen a EE that was called a EE that didn't have green legs.

Doesn’t matter. EEs are mixed breeds. They have no standards. It’s a common misconception that EEs must have beard/muffs, pea comb, green legs, etc...

I agree with you. But show me a post that a EE DOESN'T have green legs.

But is that a EE because you say it is... only joking. I've never really seen a EE that didn't have green legs.
Is green legs more normal then non green legs?
Only trying to learn.

It depends where you buy them from, most hatchery EEs do have green legs, yes.

This is one of the EEs that I've hatched myself. Her origins are EE and Wyandotte - her dad was an EE*Wyandotte and the mom was either just an EE or a white Ameraucana.

She lays a pretty green egg.
