Easter Egger: a chicken with mixed genetics that lays an egg that is some shade of blue, green, or brown.
I think its funny that the public just assumes beard in a chicken = blue egg layer or other form of Easter egger.
The beard gene Mb only needs one copy to express and there are plenty of bearded breeds out there that could contribute to a random bred chicken's genetics. Bearded Polish, Silkies, and D'uccles to name a few.
On the flip side people seem to think birds who arent bearded cant be Easter eggers lol to be an Easter egger all the bird has to do is lay a colored egg ideally in a blue or green shade preferably.
These two hens right here are Easter Eggers for example
These are also Easter eggers
This is NOT an Easter egger
Know go out into the world with your new chicken knowledge that Easter Eggers can look like anything as long as they lay a pretty egg.
