Black Chicken Laid Green Egg?

[lotusladyogini]

I got some chicks this spring, they ended up as a mystery bunch from a local farm store that gave me a breed mix up and mis-identified them as Speckled Sussex. When I brought them home I knew they weren't. Well now that they've grown into hens, l identified 3 of them as Black Sex Link chickens, they all look identical and lay brown eggs. The 4th chicken looks similar but has no red. I collected eggs today and found a green egg, this must be the 4th mystery chicken— so what type of black chicken lays green eggs? Or is this a super thick bloom that's making it look a different color? I've heard that she may be an Olive Egger or Black Australorp?? This is my first year keeping chickens and would appreciate some info.


TIA.

She’s an Easter Egger, a very gorgeous girl!

That looks like an EE - possibly mixed with Black Australorp. Very pretty girl and pretty egg.
