EE with brown eggs?

[Jferlisi]

So i believe i have a EE thats laying brown eggs. She just started this is her 4th egg if it is her. I checked at 2pm and she was in the box i found the egg and i had collected eggs just 45 minutes before. I went out at 3 and found the brown egg. Here is the hen i believe to be laying brown eggs. Can anyone give me some insight.

EEs can lay any color egg.

I thought they laid green/blue eggs.

They can lay any color egg. Ameraucana and Araucana only lay BLUE EGGS.

they can lay brown too, depending on how much americauna they have in them.
Your EE has a lot more comb than mine.
I have one EE laying a nice bluish/green color. The other is laying more of an olive.
Someone told me that olive eggers are rare, too bad because I would rather have blue!

Wrong, EEs and Ameraucanas are completely different breeds. They have similar attributes but they are not related. The only way EEs "have Ameraucana" in them is if they are bred to true Ameraucanas.

Thank you! Said it before I did.

Easter Eggers in general to the name should lay green or blue eggs, however one can lay brown eggs. If one lays white eggs though, I wouldn't call it an Easter Egger. Same goes of course for dark brown eggs.

Brown Eggs usually indicate a green egg layer crossed with a green egg layer. You must consider, hatcheries do not keep track of what they breed. Thus your EE's can produce brown, your Frizzles can come out as "frazzles" (improper breeding of frizzle x frizzle, making brittle, broken, and sometimes bald feathers) and your "blue" birds can often be black or splash.

I have had 2 EE hens. One lays pretty blue eggs. The other, that looked exactly like yours, has pinky-brown eggs. Lighter than my other PR girls.

It is common to have easter eggers that lay pink-brown eggs.
