Easter Egger Chicken

The Genetic Selection for the Easter Egger Chickens has been done through Novogen through the Novogen Color project. The Easter Eggers will produce 300-310 eggs in 52 weeks of lay. This cross has been selected for prolific laying and egg size. Productions of Blue Eggs will be around 85%, while 15% will range in colors from light cream to light brown. The Father to the Easter Egger carries the Dominant Blue Gene while the mother is a Novogen White. The Novogen White Mother adds to the makeup of a hearty, self-sufficient bird on the homestead while earning its keep with prolific laying and voracious foraging abilities.
