Please tell me about your Easter Eggers and their laying habits! Specifically,

1) What color egg and how often do they lay?
2) At what age did they come into lay? How old are your EEs now?
3) Where did you get your Easter Egger?

I know responses will vary w EEs being a mixed breed, but I’m just curious and thought it might be fun to see the answers that come through :)

I’ll go first:

1) No eggs yet, still waiting on the first ones
2) ....still....waiting....I have 2 EEs, one is about 6 months and the other 8 months. Any day now!
3) Purchased as started pullets from a chicken ranch by Lake Travis in Austin, TX
 
We have 7 standard and two bantam EEs
3 of the standard just turned a year old. They took forever to lay: 9-10 months! Dottie lays a pale blue-ish green egg every day for about 9 days, then takes a day off. Thestrel lays green eggs about 5 per week and Teach lays tan eggs, also about 5 per week. The rest of them were from August hatches. At least three of the standard pullets are laying, two green and one beautiful blue and just started laying in the last couple of weeks. Haven't kept track of how often yet. Both bantam EEs started laying last month and both lay sage green eggs every day.
All of my birds are from TSC
 
I have had some 4 times over the years. Some came from Privett through the feed store, some came from Meyer & the others I bought as pullets so I don't know! All that I remember came into lay from 18-22 weeks & were usually among the best layers. I've only had about 25, but everyone laid a blue or greenish egg.
 
I have one easter kegger that started laying about a month and a half ago. Since then twice she has laid an egg with no shell. It seems to happen when she has already laid an egg that day. She lays almost every day, and I provide lots of oyster shells, what could be the problem. I don't know if I posted this in the right thread, but could really use some input. Thanks in advance for your responses.
