My two cents on your egg colors: I always had EE roos with my other flocks and had several clutches of "homegrown" mixed breed chicks (both incubator and hen raised.) My EE roo crossed with a dark brown egg layer such as my Welsummer produced an olive egger. With lighter colored browns there were all different variations of greens, and crossed with cream egg layers usually produced a very light pale blue. You should have some gorgeous variety!Congrats Karla, for getting your wireless webcam up! Those are nice clear images! What fun to spy on the chicks! So what do you think the color of our future eggs will be, with an EE roo and a mixed flock of mostly brown egg layers? Is there enough Araucana in most EE roos to pass along the blue egg gene? We will start to stash eggs for incubation starting tomorrow!
