And what is an Easter Egger you ask?
An easter egger chicken is not any specific breed ~ to maybe its a chicken "mutt". As the hens grow the feathers on each one will vary ~ most will average 6-7 pounds.
They will lay about 4 xtra large eggs per week ~ and the egg colors will be blue, pink, green, or multicolored.....hence the name.
I got my information for this chicken lesson from http://www.mypetchicken.com/chicken-breeds/Easter-Eggers-B145.aspx..
Now ya know!
(When the co op said they were getting them, I looked them up, after I saw the egg colors I knew we needed some!)
