I have a green layer, but am unsure who and am trying to narrow it down. I'm selling a rouen in a couple days and don't want to accidentally sell the only green layer I have so far (roughly half of my older batch is laying now).

So I guess I'm asking if anyone knows who is most likely to be laying a green egg (I can get a comparison of it next to the white normal eggs tomorrow morning)
Breeds that are old enough to be suspects:
Pekin (normal, not jumbo)
Khaki
Rouen
Blue Swedish

I have one Rouen that is seperared with two other ducks just to see if the egg comes from that pen tomorrow or Sunday. If it comes from somewhere else, I'll at least know that she isn't the layer and can sell her
 
Okay. Looks like some digging has made it likely the Rouens. So my question now I guess is if this is something I can breed for? The male is a blue Swedish, and I'm unsure how the green for ducks works. Only that I saw that hatching from green doesn't guarantee a green layer.
