We got 8 chicks mid June 2014. 2 were EE. One turned out to be a roo. All the hens began to lay the week before Christmas, and we were delighted that we were getting a green egg a day from our EE (so I assume). The other hens are buff orps, australorps, and barred rock. However, we haven't had a single green egg in 2 weeks now. Is it possible if the EE's egg color changed to brown? Production has been generally down overall. We were getting about 5 or 6 eggs a day. The past two weeks we'very only been getting 2 or if we're lucky 3 eggs a day. Some days none or 1. Only brown. We live in Ohio and the weather has been crazy. Some days below freezing. Last weekend in the 50s. Now we're preparing for wind chills of 25 below. Since production has dropped so markedly, I did wonder if we may have an egg eater, maybe the EE? But I haven't seen any sign of that. We check the box frequently throughout the day? I'd appreciate any thoughts.
