There is no "I" in Ameraucana
The blue coloring of the ameraucana shell is produced by the liver, so the healthier the bird, the better the color you will get. There are certain vitamins and minerals too that enhance liver function, so maybe the birds are getting more of what they need now.
Eggs do lighten in color though over the laying season and will be a darker blue when the molt is over and they begin the cycle over.
There is a link a few pages back about some research on a different species of bird that lays blue eggs.
