First egg from Easter egger

[Rick M]

Been waiting for different color eggs for several months now. We've had barred rock and red sex links for over a year now.
This spring I order some white leghorns pullets, some welsummer pullets got 2 hems and a freebie cockerel in the mix, some easter eggers. The welsummers and leghorns have been laying for a couple weeks and today one of the easter eggers dropped a baby egg. Love the colors.

Easter Eggers are my favorite. The best is when you have a Blue and a Green layer!

Have a couple more easter eggers to start laying, hoping for a variety of colors from them.

Yay! Most likely, your other EE will lay a slightly different, or very different color.
Is the dark brown egg from your Welsummer? That's a nice dark color. Only one of my Wellies is laying, and the eggs are varying a lot in color. The speckled one in my avatar is the first egg she laid. Cute like a quail egg. The subsequent ones have been smaller more densely placed specks.

I have 2 welsummers and I absolutely love their dark eggs! What a beautiful array of eggs you're getting! YAY!!!

Yes the dark one is from one of the welsummer pullets.

Congratulations on those first eggs. My EEs started just barely over a month ago. I have six EEs. I got my first six egg day yesterday. I'm new to chickens, and the EEs were my test case. Now I'm going to go for a more rainbow egg basket. Like yours. But I refuse to get caught up in chicken math. So as I add new chickens, I am going to rehome some of my EEs. My plan is to keep the bluest, and the deepest green. Consequently I spent many hours determining which chicken laid which egg. Quite frankly it nearly drove me crazy. When I had four birds laying, one day I would get four seafoam green eggs. The next day I would get to seafoam green, one bright blue, and one almost olive green. I know a chicken lays the same color egg all its life. But nobody ever told me about tints. They DEFINITELY change tints, sometimes daily. Maybe because they're so young. Whatever. But I know the tints change. Would love to hear your experience with this.

I have had the same experience with varying tints in my two EEs. At first I was excited to have one green and one blue layer. But now they seem to have both settled into light mint green. Still pretty though!
