Easter Eggers are basically mutts (some of the cutest mutts ever!). Usually Ameraucana, but sometimes Araucanas that have been bred to different breeds. It's usually done on purpose for different egg...
Thank you ChickNmamma. That's what I thought, but wanted to make sure. I was mostly looking for the blue egg coloring so they are perfect for me, but being that I have too many some will have to be sold. I don't want to mislead my customers into thinking they are buying true Ameraucana's...
Hi
I bought some of the most beautiful blue hatching eggs from a lady who only has Ameraucana chickens in her farm; no other breeds at all. The problem is she has all the different colorings (BBS, Silver, etc...) all in the same pen, so her hens are being covered by different coloring roosters...

Thank you HUBBIE!
