Gotcha is it still safe to assume she might lay a blue tinted egg maybe green. I thought the father contributed egg color?

Both parents contribute genes for egg color. The pea comb gene is located very near to blue eggshell gene, and they usually inherit together. The Leghorn only has white eggshell genes to contribute. Blue shell is dominant over white shell. If the Easter Egger hen also has a gene or two for brown coating, green eggs are a possibility. Odds for blue or green eggs are very good, but there is still a chance for white or a shade of brown.
 
My crosses were brown Leghorn and EE, so they pretty much looked like the regular brown EE



this was years and years ago, before the SBEL's became so popular.

I did hold over a few white Leghorn pullets to put under by blue barred blue egger rooster this fall...we'll see how those pullets turn out.

Here she is today. Still no eggs I don't think I'm still getting all brown and cream eggs
 
I'm with you. My spring Leghorns have started laying, but no one else. I have Orpingtons, an Amberlink, Rocks and a bunch of my own Camo eggers that should be laying any time now.

Heaven help me, I'm actually thinking about buying store bought eggs......I have over a hundred birds for Pete's sake
