Trying to figure out a breed here. One of my hens is a mixed-breed, born this spring, I think she's probably crossed with a purebred black ameraucana (hence the cheek puffs), however it is also possible her mother is a mixed breed as well. My flock of 6 started laying for the first time recently, and it's possible my only mixed-breed has started laying blue-ish green eggs. (I have 3 brown egg layers, 1 ameraucana, and 1 olive egger in addition to my mixed-breed). I'm wondering if there's an expert on chicken genetics here that can help me determine her breed lol. Her dad could be one of 3 different roosters: a copper maran, a golden-laced wyandotte, and one I don't recognize the breed of (it doesn't seem like a common breed, but I will include the photos of her possible fathers). I will also include some photos of her as well as the eggs I've gotten from my flock. This is definitely a puzzle I've been trying to figure out for a while!
