a breeder that selects for blue eggs in their Ameraucan or Araucana flock. Just because they are pure doesnt mean they will lay blue-blue eggs, I've gotten eggs from a few breeders what where a green/blue color.

Your little black/copper pullet is a Black Copper Marans (American variety, they have clean legs) - she has light copper markings, looks like my hen ;) You'll get nice dark brown eggs!

 

When she gets a little older, she'll develop wattles and a single comb.... nice birds, good sized eggs, predictable layers - even in winter months with no extra lighting.....

. I wanted to say you were right, we got a real nice dark egg today, so pretty. Also we got a green egg from the EE we are thrilled. We were not sure the EE would give us any color but olive since she is part RIR which she looks like mostly except the fluffy face. She is one big bird, and her single comb is huge lol, lays to the side. Waddles are huge to. The egg was a large egg, impressive lol. We are thrilled, we got brown, light brown, green and now chocolate colored eggs.
