They all look like roosters....

Just because a chicken has a pea comb doesnt mean that they will lay green/blue egg. They first need to have the background for colored eggs. Araucanas, Ameraucanas and EEs with pea combs are highly likely to carry the colored egg gene. If the OPs birds are Marans mixed with any of those, it is likely that any of the birds that have a pea comb also carry the colored egg gene since it is already in the chickens background. But you are right, just because it has a pea comb doesnt mean it will lay a colored egg. I have plenty of pea combed birds, they dont lay a colored egg.

Well, actually, they all lay colored eggs: white, blue, brown and green are all colors.

i am getting olive colored eggs and i have gotten one blue egg , will the egg colors change from the birds like for example lay their first egg blue or green and then lay brown ones from then on ?

No, the shade might change a little, but the olive eggs are from one hen, and the blue are from another.

No. From what I understand from reading on this forum, there are two egg color genes:

Blue/no blue (shell pigment - the color you see from the inside of the egg)
Brown/no brown (shell "coating" pigment)

So you can have:
No blue + brown = brown egg
No blue + no brown = white egg
Blue + brown = green egg
Blue + no brown = blue egg

I want white, green, blue and dark brown eggs. Why did I get 6 brown eggers?
