What shades of greens and blue eggs do you have fron your EEers?

post #1 of 10
Thread Starter 

I have 2 EEers one is laying now and the other should start to lay soon. I got my first EE egg 2 weeks ago and it was so fun! I'm wondering if the "new" hen will lay..? The one I have lays a light green. Does anyone get a blue?

I have 4 EEs, I used to have 5, and they all lay about the same color - aqua.  Pretty, but I thought there would be more variation in color.

I've seen people with blues before. They call them green but to me, through all the shades I've seen in my life, I'd classify them as blue.

 

My one hatchery-based EE who made it to laying age gave me light brown eggs. hmm.png

 

My "homemade" EE's gave me the second darkest/midtone green you see in my avatar.

Can be brown on occasion.

 

 

Green doesn't really breed true since it in most cases is just brown x blue so eventually you'll get some brown layers now and then. The original EE stock hatcheries got long ago laid various colors from green to blue to brown.
