Easter Egger Bantam Chicks

Purely Poultry is delighted to introduce the charming Easter Egger Bantam Chickens, a lively and colorful breed that brings both excitement and personality to your backyard flock. Originating in the United States and inspired by the South American Araucana, these bantams are known for their stunning variety in feather patterns and their unique ability to lay eggs in a delightful array of colors.

One of the most distinctive features of Easter Egger Bantams is their visual diversity. Each bird is truly unique, with no two looking alike. Their feathers come in a kaleidoscope of colors, making them a perfect choice for anyone looking to add a splash of individuality to their flock. Whether you’re drawn to their rich browns, golden hues, or soft creams, these bantams are sure to captivate your attention and bring character to your coop.

But the fun doesn’t stop with their appearance. Easter Egger Bantams are also known for their colorful egg production. Hens lay small eggs in a variety of colors, from greens and blues to pinks and browns, making egg collecting a fun and rewarding experience. Each day feels like a treasure hunt, and the vibrant eggs add a bit of whimsy to your kitchen.

With roosters weighing around 35 ounces and hens about 31 ounces, these bantams are compact, making them ideal for backyard spaces or smaller setups. Their friendly and active nature makes them wonderful pets, and they fit in well with families or seasoned poultry keepers alike. While they don’t meet the strict breed standards of their Araucana or Ameraucana relatives, their playful personalities and versatility more than make up for it. Easter Egger Bantams are attentive mothers and often go broody, making them an excellent choice if you’re interested in hatching chicks.

However, one trait to be aware of is that some chicks may develop scissor or cross beak, a genetic condition where the upper and lower beaks don’t perfectly align. While this condition doesn’t affect all Easter Egger Bantams, it’s something to consider when adding these birds to your flock.

Whether you’re a first-time chicken keeper or a poultry enthusiast, Easter Egger Bantams are sure to bring joy and color to your flock. Their lively nature, beautiful feathers, and the daily surprise of rainbow-colored eggs make them a delightful choice for any backyard.
