Those dark green ones must be from Easter Eggers? Since Araucana's nas Amerucana's only lay blue eggs!

I just ordered 5 EE pullets from Cackle, and I know that there's some risk in going through a hatchery, but I can't wait to see what I get. It's like a box of chocolates....

I got 8 Easter Eggers from Cackle last spring. They all lay shades of blue and green eggs. Now I'm waiting some of their chicks to start laying (8 -10 more weeks)

Good Luck!

The picture doesn't show the colors clearly ~ those are actually a darker green (olive). They are from an Ameraucana/Cuckoo Marans mix.

Where can I get one of those egg color charts?

Ameraucana (blue), Silver pencil plymouth rocks (various tans)

No, they're from Araucanas too. Both Araucanas and Ameraucanas do have a tendency to lay green eggs in some lines and/or colors. Especially Araucanas.

Draye,

I would not have posted my eggs as coming from my araucanas if they did not. Araucanas ideally should lay a blue egg. However due to many factors in their history, some lines lay green eggs and some lay khaki colored eggs. I do not lie about my eggs and I am not ashamed of my araucana eggs. Egg color is something I am actively working on and am happy to say color is improving each generation.

In fact in that pic. The brown/green egg was laid by a blue hen of mine and the more green colored egg next to it was laid by her daughter. That is a huge improvement in just one generation.
