I have 3 hens and one is an easter egger. One of them stated laying brown eggs. I wanted to know if my easter egger could be doing it maybe?
What color eggs do easter eggers lay, and can they lay brown? :)

I hope she lays a green egg and another is laying the boring brown. I guess I will have to be patient and wait.
Your EE definitely can be laying a brown egg even though she is carrying the blue egg gene. That, in fact, is the definition of the Easter Egger, I believe -- a chicken which is neither an Ameraucana nor an Auraucana but does carry the blue egg gene.

Will she lay everyday now?
Will she lay everyday now?
If a female carries a blue egg gene and genes for brown egg she will lay green eggs.
