You're welcome. It's always exciting getting those first eggs from the different EEs to see what colors they are. They are my granddaughter's favorite chickens as she loves their colored eggs. Her favorite color is the pale pink one. Good luck in getting those colored eggs.

The dark green egg definitely confirms the identity of your Ameraucana as an Easter Egger as opposed to a true Ameraucana as true Ameraucanas only lay blue eggs. The dark olive color also confirms your EE as an Olive Egger, meaning her parents were a blue egg layer (probably an Ameraucana) and...

Not just increased egg production (although that is an added benefit) but primarily for different colored eggs (Ameraucanas and Araucanas are strictly blue egg layers). If you want to breed chickens according specific standards (for sale or show), then you would want pure Ameraucanas, but for...
