My EE eggs.

[TamiHunter]

I have 3 EE hens that have started laying recently. My question is, when will they start laying the blue/green eggs? Right now they are small, almost the size of a bantam egg and are white in color. Is this normal for for this breed? Will I ever see the colorful eggs I wanted from these girls?

Thanks for any info!

Easter eggers have the blue egg gene in them so they can lay eggs from olive to blue, your egg might have a little hint on the blue. Pics would help.

Do your hens have single combs? They may have too much production layer genes.

I will post pics today but I really don't see even a little hint of any other color than a whitish.

 

[TamiHunter]

Yes, a single comb.

This is Hostess, 1 of my EE hens. I will post a pic of the eggs today.

EE's are mixes. They can lay any color egg - from blue and green, to white or brown.

EE's are chickens with the blue egg gene but also have undesired colors, so they can lay eggs between blue and olive. EE's that lay eggs with white or brown usually have too much production layer genes in them.

And hear I thought they all lay the pretty blue/green eggs. I just happen to end up with 3 that lay white....lol
