Easter Egger Egg Color Odds

[Copperboom]

I realize that they are mutts and all but has anyone noticed if there are any very rough odds are of egg color? Like is blue a higher percentage, then green, then pink then cream?

With my 4 years with Easter Eggers, it seems like I get more of the green hues in different shades (mint, olive, pastel) from different hatcheries or breeders than blue. I had couple of blue layers that for some reason after almost 2 years old just suddenly died from the roost that never happened with any of my chickens. After saying that, I actually have 2 that are still laying at their 4th year but sporadic. I have one that layed light pink, from one batch I got from local feed store.

I can't answer your question, but I got one EE from a hatchery, along with other breeds of chicks and she lays a cream egg. But she's full of personality and her eggs are bigger than the other 6 pullets her age. I was thinking it would be pretty good odds to get blue or green, and maybe it is, but somebody's going to get the cream color!

Yes, I'd say getting an EE that lays blue/green eggs, is more probable than getting one that lays tan or white. I'm not sure of the exact percentages though. They are bred towards that standard. I do have several EE's crossed with orpingtons and other breeds, and they still lay blue eggs. I do however have an EE that lays tan eggs. I would say the order that you put the colors in, in your original post, are probably correct.

Of all my experience with Easter Eggers thus far, the most common egg color is a blueish green (or greenish blue....either works ). Only one lays a true blue, and two have produced mossy green. No brown or pink eggs yet.
