Easter Eggers

The chicken that lays the green, blue, olive or pink egg.  Easter eggers are the results of a rooster or hen receiving the ameraucana or aracauna genetic.  An EE will mostly have green or slate legs and likely be bearded with muffs on each cheek.  Although if the colored egg gene is present, the other things like muffs or beards may not apply.  Most will have a pea comb, but it depends on what an EE is bred to.  Not all will.  Uno here had a pure bred (pure white) Ameraucana father over a Buff Orpington Hen, but he did not manage the pea comb.  His legs are willow green.
