Product Information

Eight bee-eaters arrived in a quarry close to Trimingham, near Cromer, north Norfolk, in early June and began excavating nest burrows.

It’s really not possible to give a ‘true’ coloration of Easter Egger. Their feathers can come in solid colors, patterns, and splashes of any color. It depends on what plumage the parent birds had and which of those colors become genetically dominant. The colourful birds normally nest in southern Europe and northern Africa, but there has been a notable increase in nesting attempts by the species further north, including in the UK, in the past 20 years as the world warms, the RSPB said. Although they enjoy free-ranging, they will tolerate confinement well enough. However, they are curious and active, so try to provide them with things to explore in their pen not to get bored. You should know that whatever color eggs the hen lays will be the only color she lays – they don’t do rainbow assortments. But if you have several hens, you are likely to get a good variety of colors in your egg box.Legbars lay a sky blue egg and average about 180 eggs per year. Legbars are a bit hard to find as they are high in demand but they’re a rewarding breed to raise and worth the search. 3. Whiting True Blue Easter Eggers lay about four eggs per week, totaling about 200 per year, making them decently productive layers. Easter Eggers are considered a hardy and healthy breed, tolerant of cold and hot temperatures. They can be raised free-range and are happy to forage to supplement their diet. The main reason for this confusion is because Ameraucanas and Araucanas descended from Easter Eggers. Ameraucanas and Araucanas are now two individual breeds accepted into the American Standard of Perfection while Easter Eggers aren’t exactly classified as a breed right now.

Be sure to praise your child's effort on their Easter cards. The whole point is to be creative and have fun. If they've done that, they've made it a happier Easter for everyone! 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. In addition to laying fun and colorful eggs, Easter Eggers has excellent production. One hen can produce about 250 eggs per year. That’s about five colorful eggs per week! Hens may slow down with laying in the winter due to shortened daylight hours, but they can still produce several eggs during the winter. 4. Egg Color There have been six recorded breeding attempts by bee-eaters in the UK in the past 20 years, with the last successful bid on the Isle of Wight in 2014. They were bred to retain the blue gene for eggs but eliminate the parents’ lethal gene, which caused ear tufts.The original Araucanas were brought to the US from Chile, South America, in the 1930s. They are rumpless birds which means they have no tail and no coccyx. Unlike Easter Eggers, they have a clean face. True Blues are about the same size as Easter Eggers, so they’re pretty efficient on feed. Did You Know? The birds are expected to remain until the end of summer, after which they will fly to southern Africa for the winter as a family group.
