Can someone tell me what breed Hen my eggs are from

[Oldredhen]

I have 2 white eggs that I'm setting with my others. The hens are wirey frame, red/brown with yellowish green earlobes, they lay large white eggs. I dont remember when I got them last year which these were and can't seem to find pics of them. I have 4 of these hens, they're very restless, will not stay in the coop/yard, but fly over the top (7ft) and would rather free range and stay in the roof of my barn at night. I thougt they were red sex links, but now am not sure.

I'm thinking red leghorn... until you said green earlobe. Hmmm. They have white earlobes. Are you sure it is a purebred?

Maybe it is a mixed up Easter Egger. They are not a actual breed with standards... come in different colors and lay different colored eggs... sometimes white. As opposed to Amerucanas that are a standardized breed. (before anyone starts to try to correct me - a EE and Amerucana and Araucana are not the same thing officially eventhough people mush them all together)

I don't know, but red sex links lay brown eggs so you can rule that out. Good luck on your hatch, don't forget to update with pictures if you can.

Hmmm, well, I bought them last year from the feed store so they're supposed to be (they get their pullets from Ideal) but just am so confused. Thanks for the help

Yeah, me too, because that's what I thought I bought at the feed store last year.......these hens are going to be seperated from the roos, so they don't get bred again but they're great great layers, laying every day where as my others in the coop have dropped down to 2-3 eggs a day out of 14 hens! Thanks
