So I got 3 lakeside eggers from Meyer about 2 months ago and saw there wasn't much info on here about them, so I figured I'd share my experiences with the hybrid so far.
Lakeside eggers are a type of easter egger exclusive to Meyer hatchery that are blue or black with white barring. They also have crests, muffs and beards. Per the website they lay blue eggs but mine are nowhere near old enough for me to confirm this.
My 3 lakeside egger pullets are
Basil
Lavender
And Chocolate Mint
All 3 of my lakeside eggers are pullets so I can't speak about the roosters but my ladies have been friendly, active foragers and pretty good fliers. Like most easter eggers, these seem to be pretty docile so I wouldn't put them with more aggressive breeds. I also don't know how much of a "breed" thing this is but Chocolate Mint seems to be a polydactyl so I suppose there's a chance for that
If anyone else has this hybrid, please share your experiences, particularly if you have any roosters as I personally would rather avoid dealing with roosters if I can avoid it and I'll update this as the chicks get older and eventually lay eggs
