Eater Egger
Easter Egger chickens are not an official breed recognized by the American Poultry Association but rather a hybrid of two South America breeds Araucana and Quintero chickens, brought to the United States in the 1920 & 1930s. These cross breeds were further crossed with other breeds in the 1970s resulting in the Easter Egger.
Unique characteristics of the breed include a variety of colors and patterns, including black, blue, brown, white, gray, buff, and red, and may have spots and feathered legs or a fluffy beard and muffs on their face.
They lay eggs in a wide range of colors, including blue, green, pink, and brown. They are known to be friendly and will on average lay 5-6 eggs per week.
This breed is new to our flock but expect some colorful eggs by October when the chicks mature🌈🌈🥚🥚🥚

Lavender Orpington
The Orpington breed was developed in Britain by Willian Cook of Orpington, County Kent, England, in the 1880s. It was intended to be a dual-purpose breed, to be reared both for eggs and for meat, but soon became exclusively a show bird. The Lavender Orpington color was developed in the late 1990s, is technically a very diluted black. This color breeds “true,” so two Lavender Orpington chickens will produce all Lavender babies. Orpingtons are very docile and produce on average , 6 medium light brown eggs per week.
