Why Choose Our Easter Egger Chickens?
Our commitment to animal welfare and sustainable practices means you receive a robust and well-started chick. Therefore, when you choose an Easter Egger from our farm, you are investing in quality and vitality for your flock.
A Rainbow in Your Nesting Box
The most celebrated feature of the Easter Egger chicken is undoubtedly its colorful eggs. Unlike standard breeds, these unique hens lay eggs in beautiful shades of blue, green, aqua, and sometimes even pink. As a result, collecting eggs becomes a daily treasure hunt, providing a beautiful and varied egg basket for your family.

Friendly and Hardy Backyard Companions
Easter Eggers are known for their docile and curious temperament, making them an excellent choice for families with children and a perfect addition to a mixed flock. Furthermore, they are remarkably cold-hardy birds, adapting well to various climates. Their playful nature and unique appearances, often featuring charming muffs and beards, make them a visual standout. Discover the joys of starting a backyard flock with our beginner’s guide.
Caring for Your Easter Egger Chickens
To ensure your birds thrive and reach their full potential, proper care is essential from the start.
Diet and Housing Requirements
A balanced layer feed, fresh water, and access to grit are fundamental for their health and egg production. Additionally, provide a secure coop with adequate space, about 4 square feet per bird inside and 10 square feet in an outside run—to protect them from predators and give them room to forage.
Productivity and Egg Laying
You can expect your Easter Egger hen to begin laying around 5-6 months of age. On average, a healthy hen will lay approximately 200-280 colorful eggs per year. For optimal egg production, ensure they have at least 14 hours of light per day during the shorter winter months.
