1 year old Easter egger

I'm getting a 1 year old Easter egger hen and she lays blue eggs will the eggs be dark blue or lite blue thank you

Light blue, very light. No chicken lays really dark blue eggs- the closest they get is a pale sky blue color.

I agree, the eggs will probably be a light bluish color (although some EE lay pale pinkish or even tan eggs). The first egg we ever got from any of our girls came from an EE, here's a photo of it:


I believe the Cream Legbars lay a darker blue but not what you could call deep blue. I don't have one in our mixed flock, but here's a stock image you can see for comparison to my egg:


And of course, even within breed, the eggs can vary in shade. Eggs can also differ slightly depending on where they are in their laying cycle.
