I'm new to having EEs

Local Craigslist farm sold them as Ameraucana, but I don't think so and I'm ok with it...they're in a small backyard flock for eggs and I just wanted some color.

They have some sand on them

We bought them when we had a less than successful hatch so they spent a day in that aquarium next to the incubator while the hatch finished. They were probably 2-3 days old when I got them (and took the pics)

They are 2 weeks old now and so cute!

Thanks I can't remember if I saw them or not. Are there people out there that breed them? I mean I know not for shows but to get different colors. I know my daughter would freek if I could find her a blue or something.

I play around with the Easter eggers have white hens, red and white, basic partridge patterns, chocolates (the sex linked chocolate), blue, splash, etc.

It's fun to see what I get out of them.

We've only had Easter Eggers three times, once maybe 15-20 years ago so I don't really remember them well, but I do remember that out of 15, almost all of them were that darker feather color (golds, blacks, reds) and laid the mintish green hue eggs, and a small few were that off buff light colored (like tans, light grayish blue, whites, etc.) had laid light blue eggs. Last year we got two with my parents flock and the same thing, the dark Goldie's black hen laid mint green, and our buff light laid light blue. This year my husband and I ordered 3 Easter Eggers, two are very dark (brown, gold, black, etc.) and one is a mixed of light gold and some blackish brown.
So my curiosity is has anyone else seen a pattern on feather color to egg color in their hens? I'm hoping it's just one of those coincidence and that not that the darker feathered Easter Eggers are linked to the green eggs mostly as we are hoping for more blue egg layers.
Input anyone?
