I have never seen a silkie lay blue/ green eggs. Easter eggers do, Americaunas lay blue... Silkies lay white/pink/light tan.

Yes, I think if the silkies father was an auricauna, Americaunas, or easter egger then that is entirely possible.

No, my eggs are not from crossed silkie parents. I actually ordered them from a breeder ( You actually may have heard of her, the lady from Huckleberry Farm ), so the eggs should be genuine.
