Diffences Between EEs, Ameraucanas, and Araucanas

You know, you got yourself some Olive Eggers there! Those don't happen by accident. EEs green eggs are a lighter blue green. Neat. Pullet eggs usually do get bigger as they continue to lay.

So Olive Eggers are a mixed breed of chicken..like the Easter Egger??

Yep.
I've got two EE that lay almost as dark an olive egg as the one folks cross with Marans or other dark egg layers to get their olive eggs..

Ok, have 3 little EEs. I think they are little pullets from vent sexing but the more I look at their outward features the more I question myself. They already have a little bump on their legs where Spurs will develop. I have some good pics of them from different angles and wanted to see what everyone thinks. They are 4 days old.

Both gender have spur scales I believe......you'll have to wait until they are older.
Sometimes you can tell by the combs, single row pea-female, triple row pea-male......
......or you maybe have to wait until the hackle and saddle feathers start showing.

All 3 have single row pea at this point.

I have Easter Eggers and all three lay green eggs. We are planning to breed our EE roo with his hens. Any chance of getting blue eggs from green egg laying hens?

Quote: There ya go then, between your vent sexing and the pea rows, probably pullets.
Only time will tell for sure, I never count on either until they crow or lay......lol...well a bit sooner than that!

It is very possible that you will. I'm not an expert on the subject, but I have a green egg laying hen and several of her daughters lay beautiful blue eggs. it depends if your rooster has the blue egg genes.

Interesting, because all my EE's lay light blue eggs and I thought they'd lay green...I'd love to get a green egg!
