Allstar egg layer, but what am I....?

Can you help me identify the breed of this hen by appearance alone? I'm pretty sure that I don't have any barnyard mixes in my flock. More likely than not to be a pure, whatever she is... While we're at it, take a shot at the breed of this handsome feller

What color egg? (picture if possible)

The first one is a partridge Brahma cross but I don’t know what the other half is

Where did you get her?

I think you're right on with the partridge brahma. In fact, after googling it, I think the rooster appears to be half partridge brahma as well. The egg color is a very light green like these pictured

I purchased them at our local farmers market. I forgot what they were sold as, but I dont remember them being barnyard mixes. She gives me an egg a day, hardly ever has taken the day off. Most of our other hens are brown egg layers, with the exception of a couple of white egg layers, so easy to track. I didn't think ANY chicken lays that frequently

Brahma do not lay colored eggs

Those are the same thing. If a bird isn't pure and has unknown genetics, they're a barnyard mix or a mutt

I'm pretty sure she's a mixed breed then, no breeds come to mind that looks like her. Unless it's a breed I just don't even know about.

Yes, I agree with the partridge brahma cross. I dug around and found this on the net. Did not know this.... Otherwise, the only other obvious scenario, crossed with an Olive Egger or other green egg layer
