Black Astraulorp gives nice light brown eggs, my"Aracauna" hen gives olive green eggs.

Oh awesome! I have one Barred Rock chick, so probably getting brown eggs from her, and then an EE chick who I am hoping will lay anything BUT brown eggs lol. Is it fairly common to have a brown egg laying EE? I am hoping for greenish, or blueish, or even pinkish.

I am learning a ton about breeds and such thank you for responding and for the links!
