Teal-ish is a lovely color. Are the eggs hatching or did they get cracker?

They hatched into the babies you seen with my hen. xD

Hello, so I am looking for some input from some Easter Egger pros. I have 1 EE hen, she is pure white with Green legs and lays a bluish green egg. I had another hen go broody (BLRW) and I let her sit on some eggs. Little did I know Snowy (my EE) was sitting next to Dorothy (BLRW) laying about egg and Dorothy was stealing them. Anywho I now have 2 EE x GLW chicks that have hatched and probably another 3 that will hatch by Sunday. I am 99% sure the daddy is my GLW roo has he is the dominant of the 2 Roos. My other roo is a BLRW. I had no intentions of breeding anyone right now and actually have separate breeding pens for the spring for my GLW trio and my BRLW trio but right now they’re all together. Anyone have any ideas of what an EE x GLW will look like grown up? Or is it an crapshoot? So far 1 chick is dark in color and the other is more yellowish. I’ll try to get some pics of the babies later

I’m pretty sure the Roo in the picture is Daddy. This is a pic from August so he’s filled out more but I don’t have a more recent photo. The other is mama. I know she’s the mama cause I only have the 1 EE

EEs are mutts themselves so there is no way to know all the genes the mother has, let alone what genes the chicks will have.
