Easter egger colors

[Newfarmer36]

I want some more Easter eggers that lay pink and blue eggs. I have 5 of them already. The lady said one laid pink eggs but I have yet to see a pink one. All of them are green. Is green the most common color in Easter eggers or did she give me all olive eggers instead?

I have 10 EE’s and 9 lay various shades of blue & light green and one lays pink! I think the genetics favor the blues & greens rather than the pinks. It was really fun to get that pink one, though!

Mine are different shades of green. I wanted a variety of colored eggs. I guess this will give me an excuse to buy more chickens.

They have been primarily selected for green/blue egg laying.

I totally get it! But I just ordered 3 more EE’s and 3 OE’s, due to arrive in a few weeks. Ultimately, I decided it was more important to have variety in chickens than variety in eggs; I can buy brown & white eggs at the store, but I’ve never seen blue or green on the shelf! Maybe someday I’ll branch out a bit. Chicken math is hard

I afraid of ordering chickens. I've heard horror stories of them being deformed or have broken legs, etc. so I haven't done that yet.
