As the Easter Egger is a hybrid, there is no set standard for them. Why Do Easter Eggers Lay Blue Eggs? 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. If you let them free-range, they will supplement their diet quite handsomely, reducing your feed bill slightly!

Easter Eggers lay about four eggs per week, totaling about 200 per year, making them decently productive layers.

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.

The defining characteristic of the Easter Egger is the colorful eggs that they lay. These eggs can be not only shades of blue but also green, olive, or even light pink. Hens will lay the same color eggs throughout their lives. 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

Bee-eaters last nested in the UK in 2017, in Nottinghamshire, though the last successful fledging was on the Isle of Wight in 2014. The notable increase in nesting attempts in the past 20 years by a species typically found further south is a sign that our climate is heating rapidly. Hotter, drier summers and searing temperatures – as experienced in the UK this week – will become the norm if urgent action isn’t taken to curb greenhouse gas emissions.Recognising shapes, textures, and colours. Having different items like pompoms, tin foil and felt allows children to explore the different feelings and in turn, develop their touch sense. They are hardy to both heat and cold and can tolerate various environments as long as they have life necessities (food, water, and shelter). Summary Easter Egger’s are delightful birds, each with their own individual looks and personality. They aren’t a noisy bird so shouldn’t cause problems with the neighbors. Like canaries down a coal mine, bee-eaters nesting in the UK are an early warning of what climate change has in store for us all. Hotter, drier summers and searing temperatures – as experienced in the UK this week – will become the norm if urgent action isn’t taken to curb greenhouse gas emissions. We urge the next prime minister to honour the commitment to reach net zero by 2050 and put nature’s recovery at the fore by making this a decade of action for climate and nature.”

Most recently, seven birds nested in Nottinghamshire in 2017, but the nests failed due to bad weather, the RSPB said. Even if younger kids can't make a masterpiece, they'll still have loads of fun messing around with paint and card. It's a brilliant activity to keep them occupied throughout the Easter holidays. What kind of card crafts are suitable for kids? Easter Eggers do not require much above a standard laying feed and supplemental calcium. Provide calcium such as oyster shells in a separate dish where hens can eat some as they need it. 2. Housing and Fencing Always supervise toddlers and younger kids while they're crafting. Small items like googly eyes and pipe cleaners can easily find their way into a child's mouth, so keep a careful eye on them to reduce the risk of choking. 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.
