EE egg color ???

[akcharlie1960]

If I wanted different color eggs (blues, greens, and pinks) does 1 EE hen lay more than one color? Or do I need several hens to get several different colors? Hope this question makes sense. Thanks in advance.

Yes, you would need different hens. Each one lays a color and keeps that color (give or take a hue) every time.

No, a hen cannot lay multiple colors. You'll need several EE hens to get all three colors. Oh, and the "pink" they lay is just a light brown.

So, in other words...... you're just going to have to sacrifice and buy a WHOLE BUNCH of easter eggers, Ameraucanas, Araucanas, Olive Eggers...... It's tough, but you got to do what you got to do......

Oh, and a bit of a side note, but I didn't believe in the whole "pink" egg thing (after having untold numbers of Easter Eggers lay brown eggs) until recently when my Marans/RIR crosses began leaving me, wouldn't you know it, rosy pink eggs! Talk about a pleasant surprise!
