My white hen(unknown) laying dark green/blue eggs

Yeah, not blue. OE it is, and a very pretty one at that

Here are Corrinas first three eggs

Very nice. I'm still trying to get a couple Olives. My last 3 were all boys. I've got 2 in the incubator now so hoping for a girl or 2.

Unless my only EE I have is cockerel dominant then I may have to just keep trying.

Can an Olive Egger lay blue eggs?

Yes.
Basically a green/olive egg is a blue shell with brown coating.
If the spray booth is funky blue shell might not get covered.

@NatJ ... Can an Olive Egger lay blue eggs?
My original guess was Easter/Olive Egger but the thread title of laying dark green/blue eggs threw me off, hence my guess for Easter Egger only.

Limited knowledge here.

I would put it this way, considering the title of the thread and the photos that have since been posted of the eggs:
--this hen lays olive-colored eggs (dark green)
--that means she is an olive egger
--she has the blue egg gene (which is why her eggs are green/olive, not dark brown), so her olive eggs are somewhere in the green/blue part of the spectrum of chicken egg colors (they are not in the white/brown area, laid by hens with no blue egg gene.)

I've never seen an all white EE!

Now you have

I had one about 15 years ago, so I knew they can exist. They just are not as common as some of the other colors. Mine was the only white one in a multi-colored group of Easter Egger bantams.

Probably. But I've never seen an all white EE!

I have a solid white EE
