Can an Easter Egger pullet have green sheen tail feathers?

Before we got ours, I tried to do some research online about why they are called EE's and how they aren't pure bred. I looked for a breeder of pure Araucana's for a short while, but we were already ordering other breeds from Ideal. I decided to throw in a few EE's for fun. I was hoping for blue eggs, but green is fine, too. I already have several brown layers-so that wouldn't be near as exciting. I saw some REALLY blue eggs on here--I think Peachick posted them. Hers are from wheaten Ameraucanas.

If the hatching eggs are blue, and both the hen and roo are pure, will the chicks lay close to the same color or is that completely up in the air?
Thanks for all of the info. You guys are great!

if the hatching eggs are pure and the parent birds are of pure descent, yes, the chicks SHOULD lay about the same color egg.

of course we're great! we're BYC members dang it!
