I don't think that there is any specific way to tell the color of an Easter Egger's eggs. If a Easter Egger has a single comb (yours doesn't, she instead has a pea comb), then they usually lack the blue-egg trait, and may lay brown or pinkish eggs. So, yours will probably lay blue eggs or green eggs, but we can't tell which. Personally, I believe that she will lay green eggs. Most Easter Eggers do, as when you cross a blue-egg bird, like an Ameracauna, with a brown egg bird, the brown overlays the blue and causes it to be green.

Thanks for the info!

My EE's that have the muffs, lay blue/green eggs. My EE's that do not have muffs, lay a pinkish egg. But that rule only applies to my 4, as far as I know.

Lotus says thank you We got quite lucky with her! This was her when she was little- she changed a lot!​

​

She was the smallest one in the group of EEs and she is our dominant chicken. It's a shame though because she can be a bully- especially to my Barred Rock.​

And she's kind of skittish.. how is your pullet? o: Friendly, or?​

All my chickens have plant-based names except for two. x) Lotus, Laurel, Nettle, Mallow, Olive, Teasel, Berzillia, Willow, and Sunflower! (And then Gracey and Albedo.)​

And I gave two roosters away named Dahlia and Roan (formerly Rose).​

Awww! I wish you the best of luck in the eggs being green or blue! x) My mom and I have a money-less bet going on. I say blue and she says green x) I'm hopeful and excited!​

Love the flower names. She was an adorable chick. My EE was named Gilda Radner but I changed it to Stalin when she was 10 weeks old. Stalin is extremely dominant and has been running around making raptor screeches and growling. I read that means she's about to start laying. I hope she calms down soon because when I sit out with the chickens it is not very relaxing to hear! Please post a picture of Lotus' first egg and I will of Stalin's.

Thanks! LOL! Stalin sounds like Lotus a whole lot! Lotus sits at the feeder and growls at any chicken that comes near her and literally runs around growling at all the chickens. She can be a bully sometimes! And she looks me straight in the eye, opens her mouth, and does the raptor screeches too! We have a couple hellions, don't we? Pfft!

But I agree, I hope she calms down a bit too. She is a spaz! But my Australorp, Laurel, is even louder. She screeches like an angry donkey!

And of course! I will definitely post a picture of Lotus's first egg and I'm very excited to see Stalin's first egg too!

 

[Whoops]

She turned out gorgeous!

Anyone??

I'm not sure but I think the last two are pullets, but it's just a guess.
