“Great plumage and personality but does NOT lay any color of the pastels indicated or even brown. She lays a boring cream egg. This is extremely frustrating and disappointing. For the price of these chicks she should lay at least one of the colors indicated!”
We are happy to hear that your beautiful girl is sharing her wonderful personality but understand how disappointing it must be that she was one that apparently did not inherit a blue/green egg laying gene. As these little ones are from the Easter Egger gene pool, their egg palette can range from those coveted blues and greens to brown, pinkish and that which it sounds like your girl inherited, a tinted egg. While we wish we were able to determine which egg color a chick will lay as soon as they hatch, it is just not possible with the Easter Egger and their sister breeds. If you want a hen that has a higher probability to lay blue eggs in the future, I would like to suggest a Bountiful Blue Egg Layer while the Olive Egger has a 95% chance to lay a beautiful green egg. You may also use the filters on the Baby Chick Catalog to produce results for those breeds that lay particular hues of eggs which may be helpful when researching breeds to add to your flock. Again, we are truly sorry for your disappointment. Please let us know if you have further questions by reaching out by email, chat or phone. We are happy to help!
“She is 6 weeks today, and is gorgeous, healthy, strong, and very sweet. She will hop right into our hands and ride around on our arms. She is confident, and very good-natured. Perfect chicken!”
Hi Kirsten! We are thrilled to hear that your little Green Queen is such a friendly and good natured bird! It sounds like she is a princess, not a queen! Thank you for your review and for helping other customers feel confident in ordering this wonderful breed.

“My sweet ladies are 4 weeks old tomorrow! I also purchased some blue copper marans who are 1 week older. They all arrived happy and chirping away. Still happy, beautiful and thriving. Thank you my pet chicken!”
