Does EE shank color tell if they will lay green, blue or brown eggs?

[chickerdoodle]

I notice EEs have various shank colors (they are mixed breeds after all) and wonder if the color of the shank gives a strong clue to the egg color they will lay? My EE, Agnes has very green shanks and I was hoping she would lay a color other than brown. I'll still adore her anyway but its fun to get a different color isn't it? I bet I'm not the only one who wants to know!

Could you tell me what color your EEs shanks were as a pullet and what color egg she lays?

She's real pretty

but no leg color isn't a good indication to egg color.We have many EE's with slate legs-true Ameraucana's have slate and we have lots of them here that we use.We also have some yellow legs on an EE project that I'm working on..I want yellow legs on these they also lay blue eggs-I'm crossing with white We actually have very few with green legs...They also claim that the comb is an indicator..straight combs will seldom lay colored eggs-not so they will lay colored eggs here hens colors vary but I don't have hardly any of the more common colored ones-like your pretty lady.Mine are all bred to produce unusual colors and patterns..I just like different

I have never had an EE that lays any color other than mint or light blue no matter what it looks like-knock on wood!
so lets see green legs colored eggs
slate legs colored eggs
yellow legs colored eggs
straight comb colored eggs

2 w/yellow legs green eggs
1 w/yellow legs brown eggs
1 black legs blue eggs (this on is a black leghorn/EE cross)

There is no relation between shank color and egg color.

But blue egg gene is linked to peacomb.

My araucanaXpekin have black legs and the egg is a dark blue/green colour.

I have 3 EE/Spangled Russian Orloff mixes that have yellow legs. Two lay green eggs and one lays a pale brown.
