NOTE: It should be noted that this breed has an inherent genetic beak issue. 1 out of 100 chicks as they grow may have some variance in severity of scissor beak/cross beak. This can be best described when the top and bottom beak do not align and this condition normally will get worse as they grow. You can find more information about this issue on our Cackle Hatchery blog. There are numerous articles and information on the Internet on this subject. Also most Easter Egger™ chickens don’t inherit the lethal alleles from their parents unlike a lot of Araucana chickens.

    Such sweet and curious chicks. Amazing variety of colors and personality just like their full size counterpart. Can’t wait for them to start laying.

    I love these little fluffy cheeked, blue/green laying, little chickies! I had ordered 15 of these in May and about 7 turned out to be roosters. I re-homed 6 and kept one that was super handsome and very friendly. Unfortunately he passed away without any symptoms of illness. All of the hens are super healthy and I have such a variety of colors! They are super pretty and have started laying about 2 weeks ago. Since then, I get a minimum of 4 blue/green eggs from them daily! Which is great! Considering bantams dont have the egg production normal sized birds do. One of my hens did turn out to have cross-beak which is a genetic deformity that this breed can develop but she can still eat and drink normally and is very healthy! I named her Derpy bc she has a derpy face haha. Overall I highly recommend this breed for any bantam flocks that want to add a bit of color to their daily egg collection! They are more skittish than some of my other breeds but again, I love them!

    LOVE THEM!
    These bantams are amazing! Super sweet Mama hens! They lay well, and I am super happy with the overall quality of these little birds! bought six and want more! One of my hens snuck off and I thought she was gone, but it turned out she made a nest and hatched 4 more! Very happy with them! Thank you!

    Ordered 10 EE bantams and received 12 in total.
    6/12 were between a dark grey and black color, 3 were splash, the other 3 were a brown/cream/partridge color. Out of all 12 I received 11 females which is an outcome I’ve never had happen when purchasing unsexed birds. I kept all 12, the females began laying right at 6 months, all a nice beautiful teal-blue color! The rooster has become my favorite, as his temperament is amazing yet he is dedicated to protected the flock. Overall 10/10 for this breed from Cackle’s line.

  5. Calli OConnor

    I received 15 chicks and only got 5 girls, wild odds however these 4 month olds are absolutely adorable with their fluffy cheeks and such a delight in my flock. I love the variety I got- one splash, blue, cream, and two buff/creams. They are bright and curious and get along well with my Cochins and silkies. One thing to note- they fly higher than any of my other bantams. Endless entertainment with these birds, highly recommend!

    The chicks arrived healthy, lively, and beautifully formed for an excite expectant new momma hen, Birchen, who never raised her own clutch before. Only issue is that some ended up with pasty butt (something stressed out babies commonly experience). Olive oil on q-tip after washing their behinds with a luke warm washcloth fixed the issue within a day. Birchen snapped out of her broodiness and purred in delight. Unforutnately, for Birchen and the chicks, I didn’t know it was possible for momma hens to be unable to successfully raise chicks. To lack a fundamental skill, such as balancing on eggs and chicks. Fast forward, as of today, she flattened 4 babies under her body (out 11 chicks). When she flattened the first one (as in pancake flat), I figured that a thick cushioning pad and removing the extra feeder would fix the flattening issue. Then I found more this morning, one next to her body and the rest under her. She faught me, as a good momma will, but she is now back in the gloomy weather with her husban. My mistake for trusting babies to a new momma who lacks a key skill. Birchen can never raise babies again.

    I have been always very happy with the health of my chickens from here! I ordered 14 and got in 20. Most were black, and blue with a few white, lavender, splash. Didn’t lose one bird. Only one turned out to be mean. Very good mix

    Love mine!

    Beautiful bantam size blue eggs. All 5 came healthy and the color variation was beautiful. I got 1 male and 4 female which was amazing. Planning on ordering more.

    Beautiful birds and eggs

    Arrived very healthy. Hands down the friendliest easter eggers I’ve ever owned. Even my roo. Mine just started laying and the color of these eggs are beautiful. I love the variation in colors among the chickens I received also.
