Whilst not strictly a purebred, the Easter Egger has become a backyard favorite across America. With its cute looks and vibrant personality it is a favorite. They are known as Easter Eggers because they can lay a wide variety of egg colors and their plumage can also be various colors.
Easter Eggers have been around for quite a while now and have lost none of their popularity; in fact, they are becoming even more popular for backyard chicken folks because of their colored eggs but also because of their low maintenance lifestyle.
The Easter Egger can literally be a mixed bag of features. They can have any sort of comb with single and pea being the most common (depends on their parents).
Their ear lobes can be any color but are usually red or white and occasionally a bird will have ear tufts. The wattles on both sexes are red but small.
Facial features can include muffs which give them their chipmunk appearance.
