To me her eggs look olive

Can you post a picture of her? Did the breeder sell her to you as a true Araucana?

Did you know that it's far more common for men to be color blind than women? Ask around among your female friends to look at the Araucana egg and tell you what color it appears to them. The answers could surprise you.

We are getting slightly greenish blue eggs from our EE. She’s been laying for several weeks now. She laid these three in the last two days!

Could possibly be a cull. If you paid $50 or more for them then they probably aren’t culls but you never know.

Glad I stumbled upon this thread, because once again I didn't get your tag alert @Brahma Chicken5000!

Yes, Araucanas can lay green eggs, but it is not preferred. Below is a chart from the breeders association with x being the most desirable color and i being the least desirable.

Your hen is not a pure Araucana. The cock may be pure.
