I think your birds are very pretty. I was hoping my EE would look like that. The hens from where I got mine looked almost exactly like yours, but the 5 eggs produced 4 black chicks and 1 white chick.
These are some of my EE's. I thought I had variety when they were chicks, but they all kind of look the same. I'm a little bored with them actually. I heard they get friendlier when they start laying. How many times will they molt their feather and change their coloring? These girls were born March 3rd. They are at the bottom of the pecking order in my flock. I got them from McMurray.
I moult will not change there color.... much anyway. I had 2 white EE and one when she moulted, feathered back with more buff on her chest. Very odd from what I have read. They don't usually change color at all. Just look shinny and newI do have two all white EE's, but otherwise they pretty much look like the ones in the picture. I'm not sure how their egg production will be yet. I am very excited to have colorful eggs and I really hope I get at least one pink egg along with some blues. We do have two roosters; one light brahma and one blue andalusian. The blue andalusian particularly likes the EE's. I think it's because they are about his size and smaller, whereas the brahma rooster tends to like the brahma hens. I've seen some beautiful EE's on this thread and wish mine were that cool. But maybe when they molt, they will turn into something new.
Here's another one. She is mostly plain brown.
I think calling an EE egg pink is a REAL stretch. We have one doing that and it is just a lighter version of the typical brown egg. If you are expecting pink ie red tones I think you will be disappointed. If you really get a PINK egg please post a picture cause I'll have to see it to believe it. Oh and your hens won't noticeably change color after molting. We like that EE coloring, I consider it a wild type? We put a blue wheaten Ameracauna rooster over the hens and got some really nice looking pullets. Lots of blue hues in the otherwise wild coloring.I do have two all white EE's, but otherwise they pretty much look like the ones in the picture. I'm not sure how their egg production will be yet.

My RIR's first egg was "lavender" (yes, purple) with darker speckles!
