Thank you for your help, chickmister!
What does eeX mean?

its still an ee...an ee is an ee no matter what its mixed with...an ee is any bird that carries the blue egg laying gene so an ee mix is just an ee and nothing more

Thank you for your help, WalkingOnSunshine!
Lilly is approximately 7 months old. And guess what - I found a chicken egg in a nesting box this evening when I put them in for the night!!!! I am so psyched! This is our first chicken egg!
If I had to guess, I would say that it belonged to Chester only because I saw her sitting in the box a few days ago.
I photographed it with two duck eggs.




(For some reason my dime looks the color of a penny here).
My husband commented that the chicken egg looks sort of 'pinkish'.
Perhaps it is Lilly's egg. I might have more to compare it with by tomorrow. I might get lucky and catch someone sitting!
Tetra Tint sounds cool! I will be looking that up.

Thank you hdowden!
My daughter and I really enjoy these chickens and it's great to learn so much about them from all of you!

When I had my first chickens -for a year or so - I never got one egg! Then when I went to move I found they had laid them outdoors in some high weeds. I have read recently online, that hens will usually lay in the morning and to keep them closed up until 11-12. It works with the ones I have now and am getting more eggs than I need!!! And they have learned where the nest is and come back to use it.

Those sound like some sneaky chicks, reinvestment! We have been getting duck eggs for a month now and I'm so tickled to have found a chicken egg! I'll take your advice about letting them stay in a bit longer in the morning.

Lilly certainly does have a different look about her compared to the other two hens, roosterandhens. She seems longer-legged and her comb is more noticeable.
I've spent this evening reading about Easter Eggers. I read on one site that even Easter Eggers can have yellow legs-this has cleared up some of my confusion. They are good and happy chickens. I told my daughter she made a good choice on them!
