In my experience, that method is completely inaccurate. Feather sexable day old chicks require a very specific set of genetics for each parent.

Not just that it's a total guessing game unless u hatch or order your chicks they'll likely be older and can't be feather sexed

ONE OF THE GIRLS LAID HER FIRST EGG!!!! It had to be either Sassy or Lady Gray because those two have been singing and exploring the nest box a lot lately. I am beyond ecstatic right now

My four EEs, 8 weeks old, are all flower names:
Petunia (on the white side with beautiful markings)
Myrtle (whitest of all)
Violet (dark gray with gorgeous brown body feathers mixed in...suspected male)
Buttercup (lighter gray)

Silly question; I know that 'brown' is not the color of the egg, the hen 'paints' it on before laying. Blue however, is. So if I break open a blue egg the inside of the shell would be blue also, right?

Not silly at all. You don't know what you don't know until you ask Blue and White are base colors and yes, the brown is painted on.

That's kinda what I thought, but wasn't sure, thanks. So green eggs should really be interesting with their blue insides!
