Is this breed recognized by the American Poultry Association? No, generally hybrids are not recognized by the Standard of Perfection, but occasionally they will make exceptions for breeds with unique traits or interesting backgrounds.
Is there a bantam size version of this breed? Yes, they are also offered in bantam size, although we do not carry them at this time.
Why isn't my hen laying blue eggs? Because of the nature of hybrids and genetics, we cannot guarantee what color your chickens will lay. About 85% of the time, our Easter Egger chickens will lay blue or green eggs, but there will be variance because of their genetics.
We suggest ordering a variety of layers to have better chances at getting your desired egg color. Our rainbow or premium assortment would be a good option to give you colorful eggs at a lower price.
When do Easter Egger chickens start laying eggs? They will start laying eggs between 19-22 weeks, or about 5 to 6 months of age. This is dependent on the time of year, their environment, and their rate of maturity.
What breeds are used for the parent stock? Our strain is developed with a White Leghorn and Americana-type male. The White Leghorns are used for egg production, while Americanas are used for egg color.
