These three were sold to me from Coastal (Hoover hatchery) as EE. They are 18 weeks and just starting laying. I know the one on the far left lays brown eggs. Her eggs are top row left two. Today the middle EE layed and I saw her in the nesting box and checked as soon as she got up and there was a brown egg (second row single). Did I just not get lucky to get colored eggs or are these not EE? Only got them for their color 😵‍💫🙄. But who’s laying the other ones? I have BO, Speckled Sussex, and SLW.

Easter Eggers are generally chosen to look fun and lay fun colored eggs. It's not guaranteed. If you purchase from a smaller or local breeder they have a better idea of their flock and genetics and you have a likelier chance of ending up with a colored egg layer. I myself was bummed when I learned that "EEs can lay a rainbow of colors!" Which includes white and brown 🙃
