Easter Egger club!

[pennyJo1960]

howdy, I hope it's ok if I post this question here. I have a new EE (the yellow chick in the photo, in front of the blue ameraucana and the polish) from my pet chicken.

She has no beard or muffs but I can see that she has a pea comb and her legs are very green.


I'm wondering if the absence of muffs is a deal breaker for blue or green eggs? Do any of y’all have muffless EES that lay a blue or green egg? Thank you! Love this thread.

two of my f-2 OE lay green eggs, i get green from 5 of mine getting more green than
brown now

I thought Welsummers had red earlobes?

Yup, they're supposed to. I will bet there's a mix in there I don't care, she lays terra cotta eggs

@djunafarms I've read that pea combs are closely tied to the blue egg gene so it's a possibility. You won't know until it happens of course, which I know can be a test of patience!

This is a bantam EE and her egg . Dark Brahma rooster over EE bantam hen created her. Minty green . I guess Brahma eggs may not be brown enough for olive eggs .

Here's my Dark Brahma Bantam Rooster x EE Egger cross and her egg laid at 18 weeks old.

It's more green with brown speckles. Here's a picture of another pullet from an
EE Hen x Buff Brahma Bantam Roo. She didn't get muffs or beards like my others.

So beautiful!



Great idea! I might steal that. And maybe name my Marans after chocolate candies or brands or something...

We named our EEs affyer candy brands - well, we tried. Cadbury, Jelly Bean, Reeses..... Yeah, we tried.
