I have 3 EE's from McMurray that are about 2 weeks old now...but it appears that all of their legs are an olive green color...does this mean all three will lay green eggs??? I was really hoping for a blue egg layer, but am I right that those chickens have slate gray legs?? Or is there a chance that I'll get a surprise chick that lays blue?

I don't have pics of all three, but I can try to describe them. One was a "neon" yellow as a chick, and she's growing up to be white with maybe some tan at the top of her wings. Another is a typical "Ameraucana" looking EE, mostly tan with darker brown and black, and the third is a tawny brown, also with the darker markings.

Any hope for blue eggs??
Thanks guys!!
 
I doubt you'll get a blue egg from a hatchery EE..... To my understanding the EE (being mutts) mostly lay some shade of green/sage color. Some EE's lay brown eggs. I only have one, her first eggs was bluish-green and she is now laying lovely sage green eggs....
