QR Code Link to This Post
This is my second year with these. The easter egger pullet chicks are all white, some with small splotches of blue, brown or black. They are laying blue shelled eggs (see egg picture) that are robin's egg blue but a few are laying light green or cream colored eggs. Mine are laying 5-6 eggs per week, mostly large sized. These birds fly well. They aren't naturally friendly (like the brown novogens), but will come running when they see you come out with food. They are generally quiet.
I have other hens (all laying) that are the same age and price so you can mix and match for a variety of egg shell colors (all showing in egg picture):
Brown Novogens - 6-7 russet brown shelled eggs per week
Olive eggers - 5-6 green to olive shelled eggs per week (85% will be solid green, the rest will be light to dark brown)
Chocolate eggers - 4-5 dark brown shelled eggs per week
White novogens - 6-7 white shelled eggs per week
Ash (smoky gray chicken) - 5-6 brown shelled eggs per week
If you are looking for egg volume, you want brown or white novogens. If you want different colored eggs, a combination of some of the above chickens will give you a nice variety.
Info from the hatchery:
The Father to the Easter Egger carries the Dominant Blue Gene while the mother is a Novogen White.
These pullets are all white, some with colored splotches.
Easter Eggers lay eggs in various colors, primarily blue and green, with some cream-colored eggs mixed in.
They are tolerant of both cold and hot climates
They are rarely broody
Regarding communication and sales:
I use email to do communications to set up see/buy appointments. I have had poultry stolen when I used phone/text.
I don't monitor emails or sell on Sundays.
