EE question

[ging3rhoffman]

I was wondering what the chances were of an EE laying a white egg. I have 5 EEs, 2 BO, 2 RIR, 2 Silver Laced wyandottes, 2 delawares, 2 black aussies and 2 welsummers. I have an order in for some meat birds and i thought if my chances were very slim that i would get a white egg out of one of my EEs that i would order a couple of Lt brown leghorns for the white eggs to complete my basket. Anyone have any idea?

Chances are high, from my experience. I bred an EE hen to an EE roo, and the 2 pullet babies that began laying last fall BOTH lay white eggs. Mom lays a green egg. Sigh...but, I still love them, and they are awesome layers!

I have 4 EE, and 1 out of the 4 lays a white egg.

I have 3 EEs from a hatchery and all 3 lay green or blue/green eggs.

I have two EEs one lays blue/green color and one a pinkish white.

Oh, I am so excited...I have 4 EE pullets from Meyers and 3 EE pullets from Mt healthy. I cant wait to see their eggs. I hope I get a blue and pink egg along with the olive green eggs.

I have a question too....

What are the chances a EE will lay a blue/green egg? out of 10 EE's?

I don't think we can come up with the exact odds, but out of 10 EEs, I'm sure you'll have several blue/green eggs. I'm sure it'll be fun for you to watch and figure out who's laying which eggs.

 

[sloallie10]

what about out of 4? 2?

Most of the people that have EE's get colored eggs, i just wasnt sure if they layed white eggs. But I'd say most lay green eggs.
