Where did the EE's come from?
With that many you should get at least one blue/green layer.

They all came from the same local breeder. It pretty much looked like a free for all. There were many pure breed birds there. Amuracaunas, Australorps, Speckled Sussex, Buff Orpingtons, Brahmas and also Easter Eggers and Easter Egger roosters. I’m sure I’m missing some. There were also lots of barnyard mutts, as mine are. They advertise limited heritage breeds which makes me think they control the breading to a limited degree I can only assume.
I was well informed before hand and knew what I was getting before I made my decision. As it is I am very happy with what we ended up with. Hoping for that coloured egg

If you said hatchery birds, I would give a better chance.
Crossing EE's lowers the chance of blue/green eggs. BTDT.

Unless they really do have pure Ameraucana's of both genders and are careful with their breedings, then you might have some pure Ameraucana's there which would definitely lay some blue eggs.

Only time will tell.

I too am waiting for my first BCMxCCL pullet to lay....she looks so ready and was pacing and checking nests just now.

Well he did say the one we call Crow was pure Ameraucana but I have my doubts. I'm just happy with what I have and the suspense is healthy for the heart lol. Good luck on your end as well.

This one looks like it could be a pure Am.

I get ya about the suspense and heart, I just ran down after hearing a big egg song ruckus to find this, but no egg. Willie watching over the situation is a pretty good sign an egg is imminent. Even after 5 years the POL pullets still get me going.

That's Crow the one he said was pure.

This one with the copper breast and crown we call puff she has the same build and cheeks as Crow.

Lol, I love them they are hilarious.

Betting she's a cross, interesting spots of color on head.
Will be interesting to see what they all lay.
Every time you find a new pullets egg, and you don't actually see it come out, do a butt check to possibly tell who is newly laying.
