    Easter Eggers laying varied egg colors

    I have seven 22 week old EEs, and 5 of them are now laying. I've noticed that their egg color varies a lot from day to day. Sometimes it's a nice dark olive, or light green, and even blue sometimes. I know I'm not getting the pullets mixed up since I keep track of which pullet is in which...

    So I thought we had americana chickens but it turns out they aren't because we got 3 easter eggers and other chickens that lay light/dark brown eggs.

    I am not sure because we have beautiful pullets (they aren't a year old yet but just starting to lay eggs..) and they don't lay blue eggs like we were told. I am very upset and confused about all of this. They are about 6 months and no blue eggs. We have for sure one chicken not laying. So the...

    New to BYC

    I love my new chickens! Six hens — 3 Buff Orpington and 3 Dominique. A few of them just started laying. One of the Orpies lays beautiful green eggs which threw me for a loop! Was doing research and found this group which confirmed my suspicions about having an BOxEE. She also looks really...

    True Ameraucanas?

    Ok, I've seen this thread a million times, I'm sure you're all sick of seeing it :lol: but I can't seem to find what I'm looking for. I did a lot of research before purchasing my chicks from a very nice breeder that was quite a drive for me. She was listed on the ABC breeder directory, though I...

    Egg color?

    We have some Rouens that are laying really well right now. According to Metzer, Rouens lay about 35% blue/green eggs, and we are getting about that from our five hens. But my husband and I want to know: Do some ducks lay all blue eggs or do all ducks lay some blue eggs? :) For example, if you...
