Dumb newbie question, but do easter eggers always have green legs?

No, I don't breed green legs in my EE. MOST do, but not all. Some are yellow and some are blue or slate.

Excellent! Now if I could just keep them all straight I'd be great! Thanks so much Excited to learn

Are blue wheaten americana chicks also pure yellow by standard?

Wheaten and Blue Wheaten look the same at hatch. You have to wait till they feather out to see what color you have.

My EE is 22wks 4 days and still no egg. Her face is finally starting to get red though. Not sure if EE's squat like other breeds but if they do, she is not. I think my 2 Wellies thought about laying. I got 2 funny colored eggs a 2 weeks ago then one with spots last week but nothing else. My SS are molting so this waiting game is starting to really suck.

I do have one EE that started laying at 22 1/2 weeks old. She squatted about. 5days before she started laying. Like I said eariler, my other EE will be 30 weeks old and no eggs. Although she did squat about 2days ago! Maybe soon!!!!! And it better be blue or green or I will scream! Hahahaha
