ok thanks bro ill keep an eye out for this if any1 else knows please post here thanks

 

[brooster]

oh, and depending on what the fathers genes are, they could be blue/green/brown

then heres another question for any1 to answer from ees what was th most diffriental color of eggs you got from 1 hen? so im jinda also asking can a hen lay a green egg one day then a nice blue one the next day?

Usually, an EE will start with one color egg and stay that way for all of their laying days... sometimes they will change slightly in color over time, but usually they stay about the same.

A blue egg layer can come from a green egg if the father came from a blue egg... sometimes.

ok i see i got a bunch of green egg lol i just hope i am lucky and hopfully get a blue egg layer from them

During a season of laying (between molts/broodiness, etc.) a hen's eggs start with more pigment deposited in and/or on the shell. Over the course of that season there will gradually be less and less pigment deposited.

Since different genes and pigments are involved it seems possible that they could fade at different rates, causing a greener egg to become bluer (or possibly the other way round), but I don't know of any studies to verify or contradict this.

What you won;t get is a hen laying one colour of egg some days and a different colour other days.

I doubt it. I know that there are breeders having a hard time getting the green out of their araucana. I guess if the father carries 2 blue egg genes it might be very slightly possible, but I think unlikey since the green is usually the result of a blue crossed with a brown layer.
