Which is what they told me at the feed store when I bought this chicken as a chick. I know she is a mutt, but I'm curious to know what breeds she is possibly made up of. I originally thought she would lay a white egg because of her white ear lobes, but she surprised me with an olive green egg...

This is 100% a pullet. If you dont want her she can come live with me in SJ
I just wanted to add, sometimes the first few eggs can appear fertile but really arent. I cant explain why it is but I know from my flock, I opened and inspected the first eggs from all of my girls and...
