EASTER EGGER

[Leghornmomma]

I recently found a local farm who sells pullets for a great price ... so the crazy chicken lady ( ME) added a few more to her flock! I got 1 easter egger for my son .. I'm not sure who's more excited to see what color she'll lay i was recently told you can tell the egg color by the ears. Which i know is true for brown and white egg layers but I didn't know that was true for Easter eggers since they lay different colors! Can u help me determine what color she may lay?

I should add.. i got 10 new chickens all together but only 1 is a Easter egger.

She may lay blue/green/olive or perhaps even brown eggs. More likely that you will get the 'pretty' eggs that you want.

Earlobe color doesn't determine egg color. It will be a surprise!

That's exactly what I thought. But was told today that the chick hatchery's have them listed in catalogs as blue egg layers green egg layers etc by looking at their ear... I can't wait for the surprise I'm really hoping for a blue egg!

I'm really hoping for a blue egg I'll be upset if she lays brown eggs i need some color!

The hatcheries know what color the eggs will be because they know the breeds. An Easter Egger is a mixed breed so we don't know what color eggs it will lay.
