Easter Egger Chickens - Pullets 20 weeks old just starting to lay
They are known as Easter Eggers because they can lay a wide variety of egg colors, and their plumage can also be in various colors.
Generally, in the US, an Easter Egger is a bird that is understood to carry the blue egg laying gene from its parent stock (the Araucana or Ameraucana).
Another advantage to raising Light Brahmas is their extreme hardiness. Their size, feathering and their pea comb helps them withstand very cold temperatures. They are also excellent winter layers, producing most of their eggs between October and May.
