Showing off eggs

I was wondering if the olive eggs would eventually fade to blue.
The other two EE hens laid lovely turquoise blue eggs from the start but the other one started out with olive.
I hope they stay that color because I think the varieties look so cool in the cartons.
They sell like crazy too. I thought people might be put off by the weird colors but it seems not.
The 3 pullets were sold as Ameracaunas but are actually EEs.
I don't care though. I love 'em all.

They will begin to fade when the hen gets older. Right before the hen's production slows down because of her age, her eggs will begin to fade in color. Not a drastic change but subtle enough to notice. Right now however, the color will remain the same.
 
Did you mean Ameracaunas are hard to find in Canada?
It seems that EEs (mongrel blue egg layers) are fairly common, at least here in my part of Canada (West Coast).
I hope the olive eggs stay that color. It adds to the rainbow.
 
Nice Olive Egg. I'm working on that. I hope to have some offspring this spring that lay olive eggs. I have a Splash Maran Roo I'm putting over my americanas and blue/green egger EE's. Here is what I am getting now from my girls. I Have
