I know right?

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.

Roflmao, I can just see me out in my barn chasing chickens lip sticking their butts. My husband and neighbors will think I’ve got mad!

That would be very hard unfortunately. But now I’m determined to figure it out. It’s such a great mystery!

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...

Green egg looked mostly green, but could be blue tinged and the brown honestly looked. Brown. Hard to get a pic. But here’s what they look like

True, I guess that’s what popped out. 😂

When I get my dual purpose package they are chosen from: RIR, Colombian rock, red rock cross, red Sussex and brown leghorn.

The one on the railing is a polish/red rock cross laying since September, and the one on the ground is a Silkie/red rock cross and 5 years old.

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.

Rochester hatchery in Alberta, Canada.

Yup, I removed the membrane. That wa the result.

Everyone’s been laying since September. Did thet this morning. The green egg looked maybe a bit blue, more green. The brown egg looked more brown than white though. Still a mystery. Guess Mother Nature always had some surprises up her sleeve.

All such interesting thoughts! Thanks all for replying.

Fascinating! It’s weird that they would go so long laying brown and then switch to green. I love genetics!

But where! Do you think there could be a spontaneous switch? Everyone has been laying for 6 months to 2 years. No green eggs until about a week ago.
