Easter Egger chickens are a mixed breed, not a specific breed, known for laying eggs in a variety of colors, including blue, green, and sometimes pink, and are known for their friendly and hardy nature. Easter Eggers are not a recognized breed, but rather a mix of different chicken breeds, typically involving birds carrying the blue egg gene (from breeds like Araucanas or Ameraucanas) and brown egg-laying breeds.
Easter Eggers are generally gentle and enjoy interacting with people, making them easy to handle and a good fit for families with children.
