Easter Egger egg help!

[chickenluver555]

Today one of my three EE's laid an egg! But they are only 19 weeks old, and the egg was very small and pink. I thought EE's layed big blue eggs! Is it just because this is the first egg? And why so early? Any input? I would like some advice from experts.

Yes, the first eggs laid are always quite small. Don't despair - they'll get bigger as she goes along.

Good. It was so exiting to see an egg. How often do EE's lay?

EE's can lay any colour egg; green, blue, pink, brown.

I don't think the egg colour will change, so if she laid a pinkish egg, then she will continue to do so.

Plus, easter eggers can lay any color. They're kind of a wild card. I've gotten anything from olive, blue, green, tan and pink from them.

X2, and the egg color wont change, for example it isnt going to go from pink to blue to brown to green and so on it will stay one color.
