As sure as I can be. She’s been sitting on nests, eggs underneath her since September. I’m thinking it’s a tinting thing. Her eggs were so light they looked brown until recently and then it’s “come into her color”. Shes almost a year old.
Truly it’s not! The chicken has switch egg color. B
i know, research says this is impossible, but there it is! All brown eggs, now the green egg 6 months later. I have moved my suspect to the lower barn but it’s more because we also thinks she’s eating eggs. Bad girl.
She’s not farm born. She must have the blue gene, but what weird is that it was brown, but maybe her tint hadn’t come in until now and it was hard to tell it was green at first.
Don’t know. The person I bought her from 6 years ago said that’s what she was.
Yup, still no answer why she’s switched from brown to green. We need a geneticist.
It’s daisy! She was laying brown but she’s a young bird so maybe it took time to build up the color.
So this one does have a checkered past, so maybe someone in her ancestry has a blue gene.
Nobody looked like that as a chick, or adult. But maybe a throw back to an escaped rooster? I always get pullets. And again, this is a jump from brown to green egg laying.
I’m trying to sleuth out who’s laying it. But it’s so hard! 40 chickens and timing has to be perfect. I’ve asked them but...
That’s butter, she’s a D’Uccle Cochin cross. 4 toes. Her babies were crossed with my silver laced polish. Those are the speckled ones. I have one polish/Silkie cross out there.
