EEs are good for giving you a variety of eggs colors from the same breed of chickens & they may be classified as LF (large fowl) but are smaller than alot of the LF chicken breeds. If you are lucky you may get 3 different colored eggs out of 3 pullets. I think green is a prominent color but they can lay many different colors, blue, pink, beige, tinted. Each pullet will lay her own color, not all different colors as some people think. It's a neat way to identify your birds too.......LOL Marans' very dark egg is a nice one to have in the mix. Again, they are LF but someone around these boards is working on a bantam variety of these too. Studying egg colors has been interesting to me. My Light Sussex & Delaware eggs can't be distinguised one from the other when collected together & neither can the color of my Black Copper Marans & Wheaten Marans but the Wheatens lay a rounder egg for me. You will have fun studying all of this before you buy I am sure.
