Easter Egger eggs change color?

[karabeth05]

We just got our first eggs from our Easter Eggers and they’re all a light tan color. Is it possible that the colors will develop/change over time? We have six ladies and the kids were really excited about the idea of blue or green eggs.

Not really, tan is color easter Eggers can produce.
But maybe they're not really easter eggers...

Nope. One of the downsides to Easter Eggers vs Ameraucanas is the egg color is semi random. The intensity of color may be a lighten a little as they age but they will never swap the color type/.

Are all of them laying or only one? Easter eggers can lay brown eggs, and their eggs will stay the same color throughout their lives. Pics of the birds in question? If they're all laying brown, they may not be EEs. I'd expect at least one out of six to lay green or blue.

Pictures of the chickens please? It'll have to be a stroke of luck to get EEs that all lay brown .

I'd expect two out of six to lay brown at most, to be honest.

So it just occurred to me that maybe they’re not all laying yet because we didn’t realize they had started until we found six eggs. We have six ladies but I don’t have a recent picture of all of them together. Here are some pics. (The brown eggs are store bought.)

Those are all indeed EEs. However, I think that it may be one laying, because I don't think that any in the first picture, at least, look ready to lay.

I doubt they're all laying if you went days without checking for eggs then suddenly found a pile. They look like easter eggers, so I'd give them some time and see if any others lay blue or green for you.

Those are all EEs.
