Okay, from what I have gathered:

A small, close to the skull pea-comb means the hen will lay blue or green eggs
A single comb means the hen will lay brown eggs
A taller, larger pea-comb means pinkish-brown eggs

?

Can anyone provide more information or pictures of combs and corresponding egg colors? I have two young EE's and one barely has a comb at all at this point (4 weeks old) and one has a visible "bump" developing but it isn't huge yet and not pink/red at all.

I'm hoping they both lay blue/green eggs

but someone else's post has made me wonder if the one with a developing comb might be in the pink/brown category...

Any thoughts?

Hard to tell on the combs of mine until they were about 7-8 weeks old .

You might want to post pictures.

Comb has nothing to do with egg color.

Peacombs (like on EEs) can lay eggs of any color. You are better off looking at their earlobes, or legs---but in the end, it is what color egg they hatched out of & what the daddy roo hatched out of that determines what you get.
 
I agree with the others that you can't go by the comb. My three hens all have the same looking comb a pretty close pea comb but they all lay different colors. One lays a pink with white spots, one a very light brown, and the last a green/blue color.
