Description:
Easter Eggers are our all-time best-selling breed and are considered one of the best chicken breeds for beginners!
Easter Eggers are friendly, great layers of large eggs in shades of blue and green*. Their plumage can vary from stark white to dark brown and black, from buff tones to blue to splash–and anything in between. Their smaller body size gives them an advantage in the heat, and their small pea comb means they do well in cold, too, because they are not as susceptible to frostbite. We like to think that the pea comb is linked not only to the blue egg laying gene, but also to the "sweetness" gene, as well, because of their tendency toward friendly, social behavior.
*Please note that while Easter Eggers chiefly lay blue or green eggs, a small percentage will lay another egg color, including tinted, brown or even pinkish. Each hen will give ONE egg color. The egg color will not change from one egg being laid to another. For example, if your hen has just laid a green egg, it will lay a green egg its entire life.
Other hatcheries may call this breed "Ameraucanas," "Americanas" or sometimes "Araucanas," but they're really Easter Eggers. We are one of only a few places that provide true Ameraucanas.

Baby Chicks: Easter Egger Female
Very pretty chicken. She is the color of an autum maple leaf - yellows, oranges, tans. Juvenile now. She is active and friendly. I purchased 8 chicks. They arrived healthy (a day later than promised by the post office - but the post office very kindly called me and let me pick them up at 6:30 AM the following day when they arrived). All chicks appeared healthy. When I put them into their brooder box, they slowly became active, eating and drinking - except two that just stood still. I tried dipping their beaks in water, but no interest. After 30 minutes, they were still not moving around so I made sugar water and put some into a tiny spoon and kept lifting that to their beaks - after 3-4 dips they each took a swallow - all good from then on! After a few sips they started to walk around and within minutes were as lively as the rest! Healthy ever since! It seems that little sugar after a long ride in a box works wonders!

Our Puff is the just the sweetest. She’s calm, quiet and just super friendly. She is a bit of a loner but will join her sisters after she's had some alone time. She loves to chat with us and is everyone’s favorite!!! She laid a beautiful blue egg at 22 weeks!

We received our 25 chicks in great shape! The heat pack that was used to transport the chicks was still warm and All the birds were healthy and energetic! I have been a customer of My Pet Chicken for 13 years and I have no regrets buying from this company.

Our Easter Egger GIA (Gia Carangi) is in a class of her own! She’s pretty calm, and quiet unless provoked by other hens , very friendly especially to those of us her feed her, she loves her snacks and will feistily jump on my arm if I’m not sharing fast enough. She wanders often wanders off from the flock, going on her own adventures. She truly marches to the beat of her own drum, she’s the 1 out of the whole flock that doesn’t lay her eggs in any of the nesting boxes of the coop, she comfortably lays in a cozy corner of my greenhouse lol. She lays a gorgeous mint green/aqua colored egg (Started laying at 25 weeks). We just love her personality and her gorgeous eggs! I will be getting another EE as we expand our flock this year.

Thank you for sharing Gia’s story with us! She sounds like such a special and spirited Easter Egger—full of personality and charm! We love hearing how she keeps you on your toes with her snack demands, solo adventures, and unique choice of nesting spots. Her mint green/aqua eggs must be such a beautiful reward for all her quirks! 😊
We’re so happy you love her and thrilled to hear you’ll be adding another Easter Egger to your flock this year. Thank you for choosing MPC—we can’t wait to be part of your next chicken-raising adventure!

Our Easter egger is a super sweet chicken with a hilarious personality. She doesn’t like when you pet her, and dodges hands like a ninja. She’s also friendly, sits on your lap, and always wants to be close by helping with whatever we are doing. She’s gentle with her flock mates and lays beautiful large teal eggs.

Easter Eggers are known for their sweet ways and you got lucky as she has a sense of adventure and humor as well! We are so happy to hear they are doing well and bringing you happiness!

14 out of 15 made it!! These Easter eggers are very hardy chicks. Very active and already sociable. Just the one was very weak from the beginning, but nature is what it is. Plus it’s a long way from Ohio to Texas. Very well packed and shipped! You can’t go wrong with MyPetChicken!!
