easter egger young hens/pullets $40 each or 4/$150
This is my second year with these. The easter egger pullet chicks are all white, some with small splotches of blue, brown or black. Most of my hens are laying blue shelled eggs 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.
I have other young hens/pullets that are the same age and price so you can mix and match for a variety of egg shell colors:
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
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.
Note from me: The hatchery doesn't mention when they should start laying. Mine started at 20 weeks.
They will lay 5-6 eggs per week
Easter Eggers lay eggs in various colors, primarily blue and green, with some cream-colored eggs mixed in.
Note from me: the hatchery doesn't mention personality. Mine are generally quiet, but they have a personality that closely resembles white leghorns, so are a bit flighty, and not highly friendly (not hostile either though)
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.
