Quote: My EE is a flier too. She is the only one who sails over the fence several times a day to free-range, and she's a cross-beak to boot! https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/uploads/47066_dsc01432_-_copy_2.jpg That photo is amazing!- Muggsmagee

You most likely bought EE's (sold as "americanas".) Pink is pink. That sure is a pink egg I'm looking at...and if...- Muggsmagee

I have got a few OE's that are Wheaten Am and Wellie Mix. I am REALLY hoping for some speckled green eggs this year, to go with the other OE's. That's the goal anyway. I've noticed a few "gray" OE eggs, and thought they were so odd (my camera can not capture an accurate depiction)...anybody...- Muggsmagee

Quote: Really interesting color on your OE's! The Marans eggs appear the color of beets on my laptop. I want them! Thank you. I used the same BCMs to get my flock of Olive Eggers. My BCMs lay a very dark reddish brown egg - not so much the chocolate brown I see others post. My Olive...- Muggsmagee

No matter what I do, I can not get an accurate picture of the green in my eggs. My camera makes them look light and gray. Weird. I set them on a pillow that is the actual perfect shade of olive...the pillow looks gray! One of them has the coolest hint of yellow (which I wanted in my egg...- Muggsmagee

Well...I don't know what to make of it yet, but two of my OE's I've been waiting so long to lay died this week. One was my favorite "imposter" lav OE I posted pics of a few pages back. I don't know if they were egg bound, or if it was something else. They were "off" but I thought it might be...- Muggsmagee

Quote: Yeah, funny for YOU, not so funny for ME! I have 2 Rose Comb White Leghorn pullets (I was told they were 3 months) in with my OE pullets and OE cockerels. The OE girls are about 5 months. I expect eggs soon...any day really. One of the OE girls was sitting on 2 VERY white eggs...- Muggsmagee
