“We got our EE at a local farm supply store about 6 1/2 years ago and not at MPC, but I wanted to give some input from someone who has had this breed for a little while. She is an excellent bird; extremely friendly and loves being held. On summer days when we sit out in the yard she always jumps up on our laps and hunkers down for a massage. She if full of personality and truly loves the company of humans. She has even tried to jump on top of our weimaraner while he stands in the yard so that she can get higher up and closer to us. She laid green eggs for about 3 1/2-4 years, and was never broody. She was second in the pecking order, but recently has become top, as our Andalusian of the same age seems less interested in trying to keep up with the younger birds that we got this past spring. Our EE is not a mean top chicken either, it just seems like everyone else gives her respect. She is also a beautiful chicken and has a beard, and is just a classic chicken that everyone should have in their flock. Will definitely get more when I am ready.”
“I was new to the chicken world over 2 years ago. We studied many breed options before we bought. The Easter Egger was a no brainer from the price to the reviews and the potential blue eggs. Not disappointed! We love our girl and she is the best bird in the flock. Always wanted to be held. Smart as a whistle. Lays big beautiful sky blue eggs. We named ours Henrietta and she's been with us for 7 months. Will always keep one in our flock from now on.”
“When my order of chicks came in I was so excited to see what color my easter egger was going to be. She turned out being shades of brown and black, and she's the sweetest little thing! LOVES being held. Only downside, and why I gave 4 stars, is she has cross-beak and has trouble eating, but I know that isn't My Pet Chicken's fault. She gets around just fine :). Very happy with my purchase and love my flock of feathers!”
“We started our flock last may and we got 2 amazing easter eggers. they are so pretty and ful of life. they are verry kind and are amazing with my little 2 year old brother. he picks them up and plays with them and he loves them. they live outside in their chicken coop and every day we let them out but however, they never want to go back inside (which I can understand haha). They are also super smart, 2 times since we've put the birds outside we forgot to put them away and at 9:30 somebody remebers and we go outside and they are up in the tree roosting! they are so cute and very chill with our buff orpington, silver laced wyyandotte and Plymouth!”
“We love these EE hens SO MUCH! ...much more than any we've ever got at our local ranch store. They are more beautiful, quieter, smarter, friendlier with the kids/dog and most importantly each other. They have almost zero comb and fuzzy beards which makes them perfect for our Montana weather, i.e. no need to ever heat the coop since the have no combs to get frostbite, we just provide 2x4s for roosting in the winter so they can sit on their feet and puff out! For only a couple bucks more shipped than what I pay locally I will definitely keep buying from MPC, well worth it! Thanks MPC!”
“We got 2 of these ladies in 2015 - they weren't into being handled - and neither is cuddly to this day. One became the foundation hen for our breeding program as she is the mother of our main rooster. She's consistently laid her large to extra large green egg and is still going strong. We get an awesome array of feather color and patterns from her grandbabies and excellent production too! The other gives us extra large pinkish-white eggs, and while we were hoping for blue or green, she's our little mighty mouse - one of our smallest girls lays one of our biggest eggs, and she's also still going strong three years in. All hail the Easter Egger!”
“The babies are now 2 weeks old and doing amazing! We ordered 2 and I wish I could attach some pics! One is brown, almost like a chipmunk with some serious spunk. The other is the sweetest chick we have ever had and is gray and fluffy... BEAUTIFUL. We lucked out with these babies and we can't wait to see what we get for personality, patterns, and eggs! Thank you MPC and I will keep everyone updated :)”
“Overall really great birds. Very friendly, inquisitive, and vocal. Their coloration varies wildly. My EE‚Äôs started laying at 21 weeks. Only complaint is telling them apart in shipping. I split an order and ordered multiple breeds and found that the EE‚Äôs look so similar to many of the others I ordered. I ended up giving away really expensive chicks I wanted and accidentally keeping EE instead.”
