I know a chicken will only lay one color of egg her entire life. But is it possible for one hen to have some variation within that color, day to day? I have an EE that just started laying a month ago, a nice pale robins' egg blue. I also got an Ameraucana last week and haven't expected eggs from her just yet, due to the stress of moving.

I found a pale sea-green egg in the coop today. Either my EE laid a slightly different color than usual, or it's from the Ameraucana. But I thought Ameraucanas always laid blue? All my other birds are brown or white layers.
