One of my EE's never grew a tail. I wonder if she might lay blue eggs since she doesnt have a tail of any kind. Ive checked her over and she doesnt have any sort of tail, just a rounded rump. What color would you say she was? There sure is a big difference from 2 days old to 3 1/2 weeks old.

patridge looking very nice good luck on this bird and her eggs, but not having a rump con not determite egg color, egg color is determined from the genes of the parents
 
Her legs are green, therefore she's not a true araucana. She'll probably give you pretty green or blue/green eggs. How fun to have a rumpless one!
 
I had a rumpless EE. she went so long rumpless but she finally did get in some tail feathers. So think some of the ee's are slower to develop in some cases.
