@eleaserek Your girls are SOOOOO cute! I've never heard of a fairy egg, I learn something new everyday on this site! This is a pic of my girls at 4 weeks old (they're 7 weeks now) but this is the last pics I have of just the 3 of them....



This picture below is at 6 weeks but it's all the girls.

We have a variety of breeds in our new flock with three of them being easter eggers. We're anxious to find out what color eggs they'll lay. They're only 6 1/2 weeks old so we have a ways to go. They were sold to me by a hatchery as Ameraucanas, but I'd already done my research and knew I was getting Easter Eggers... so I was fine with the mislabelling. I have to say, they are my favorites... Sooooo sweet!

The thing is, they vary in color so we're making a game out of trying to guess what color eggs they'll lay... fingers crossed for greens or blues. We're wondering if their look has anything to do with their egg color. I was wondering if people would be willing to post pictures of their hens and what color egg they lay?

I realize there's no science to what I'm asking... it's all in fun.

Thanks!

3 easter eggers, 3 golden laced wynadottes, 2 buff orpingtons, 2 Black stars, 2 Barred rocks, 3 mini aussie and 2 cats. ♡

I thought I had Easter's but they don't lay colored eggs. They are light brown. I have a blond and black in color. Sorry for the bad pics. They are both on the skidish side.

We have three EE girls that are varying shades of rust. One has a big, full, black beard and muffs. They are 7 months old (as are all of my big hens). No one had laid a single egg. Not one. We have about eight bantams laying so far, but I have started calling the standard hens free loaders.

Those are EE's, they don't all lay blue/green eggs.
Sometimes the blue shell gene doesn't pass down.
Where did you get them?

I got them at a local feed store. I have heard they don't always lay the colored eggs but thought I would get at least 1 of them to do it. Its ok an egg is an egg and that's what I got them for. I will say they are very light in color and smaller then the others. I actually just got a massive egg from another one of my girls.

Wow, I would be aggravated too, if all my girls were 7 months old and not laying. Just wondering if something could be taking eggs? Are your bantams in the same coop, using the same nest boxes? What other kinds of standard girls do you have?

Both pens have a mix of bantam and standard. The pen with the Cochin bantams and most of the OEGB also has two Sicilian Buttercups and one Welsummer. The big pen has d'Uccles, and a few random bantams with three EE pullets and a cockrel, and one Welsummer.
The ones we know are laying are:
1 d'Uccle out of 4
3 OEGB out of 6
2 Cochins out of 5
1 bantam rosecomb
We got six bantam eggs today (rosecomb is sitting on 12 eggs)
So, 7 out of 13 bantams are laying as of three days ago and none of the 7 standards. I also sold 5 standard hens to a friend and they aren't laying yet either. Two Anconas, Two Cochin, one red production bird from the same hatches.

We love our Easter Eggers! We have four that are laying, and of those four, three lay a beautiful greenish-blue egg, and one lays a brown egg. We also have 4 more EE pullets that are 6-7 weeks old, and obviously aren't laying yet. It's really interesting how different the greenish-blue eggs of the EEs are from the greenish-yellow/greenish-brown eggs of our olive eggers.
