Breed guesses?

Hi!! So we recently adopted 4 new gals who are about 2/2.5 years old. The man we got them from had over 40 birds and no clue what all he had. Since we grabbed them in the night to make it a little less stressful for the girls, it was hard to see what we were getting. Any ideas what this gal is? Upon a little googling, I thought a welsummer based on her unique coloring… but then today she laid an olive colored egg! I’m stumped!

She’s also super shy and we can’t get closer than about 10 feet right now - she and her friends weren’t held as chicks and so never acclimated to human touch

I think a lot of olive eggers are Welsummer crosses so that could explain her appearance.

If she's laying an olive egg then she's an Olive Egger.

Oh I didn’t realize, but that makes a ton of sense!

Thanks! I was just so confused because she looked nothing like any of the olive eggers I saw online

There's no standard for them.

If they lay olive then they're the real deal.
