    Who is laying my green eggs???

    I did order 1 polish chicken from Meyer hatchery so she should be a pure bred. She is so tiny. I can't imagine her ever being able to lay an egg. ☺️

    Well, yes, my first eggs were green but I have no idea which, out of my 11 pullets, laid them. I will go with my barred rock...now renamed olive egger. 😁

    Who is laying my green eggs???

    My old hen has been giving me beige eggs for the past 2 years. Out of my 11 pullets, the green eggs are the first I've got from any of them. They were 23 weeks old on Wednesday.

    Who is laying my green eggs???

    Yes. Blurred chicken is a Dominique. I have 2 identical with rose Combs. Maybe my barred rock is an olive egger. I didn't:know they came speckled. I bought some specific breeds however 6 were a rainbow mix from Meyer Hatchery.

    Who is laying my green eggs???

    The beige older hen is next to the white one. The beige one on the right with black neck feathers and feathery feet, I thought she was a buff Brahma, but I could be wrong.

    This shows the coop where I shut the 11 pullets in at night. They have a tunnel that connects the coop and run that I block off. The run and finally my 3 hens/pullets.
