Omg. New girl laid today! Got her in a trade specifically for a blue/green layer. Knew she wasn't an ameracauna as told (its ok, egg color was what we (my 4ear old and I) were specific about. Think I got duped :-( was told repeatedly she laid a blue egg every other day or so lol hard to find an honest chicken trader here so far I love the girls regardless, just feel like I lied to my daughter for the last two weeks tho :-/

Big perfect WHITE egg! Doh!

Can they fade throughout laying? I haven't cracked it yet to see if maybe the inside is blueish. I always figured egg color stays the same give or take a small shade diff.
Well at least she's a layer and the guy didn't give me a rooster!

As I understand it, the coating lightens through the laying cycle so a brown egg gets lighter brown. Theoretically, then, a green egg would get more blue. Personally, I haven't noticed any difference in my green egg hen's egg color -- I see the effect mostly with the Marans.

There are different intensities of blue with some more pastel and others more vivid but I don't see any blue to that egg on my screen. I suspect either the seller lied to your face or had no idea what color egg she lays. Have you contacted that individual?

NO they tend to get whiter.

My blue and green stay the same. Why would the interior shell color change?

Found this 97g ee egg in the same nest with my smallest ee egg yet

You shouldn't assume someone is a liar. We have lots of EE's and we get lots of blue and blue green eggs. And yet sometimes for weeks at a time most of the eggs look nearly white.

Wasn't saying the interior changes. The outside color was what was being talked about.

The blue egg gene is closely linked - but not completely linked. Isbars lay green eggs and they have a single comb. A BIG single comb. So yes, it is possible.. just as it is possible to get a rose combed chicken that lays a white or brown egg...
