Chicken Breed | From Hoover's Hatchery | Colored Layers Chick Assortment | 18 Weeks Old

[Butt_Nugget_Hut092]

I have two pullets like this that I have no idea what they are.
They are smaller then my other pullets from this batch, completely black in color, but it the sun their feathers have a blueish purple shine to them. Feet have no feathers and are more of a yellow color.
They came from hoovers Hatchery in their colored layers assortment but I can not match any of what they say might be in the assortment to these two. Any help would be appreciated!
They are around 18 weeks old. Were hatched on June 17th, 2024. Though the photos I have of them are younger.

mixed breed?

I’m guessing they’re Prairie Bluebell Eggers. They can be any color, and I’ve seen some black ones. What kind of combs do they have?

Agreed.

These are photos I took tonight of both of them.

I’m guessing they’re Prairie Bluebell Eggers.

I didn't even consider the fact that they might be bluebells because I have two others that I'm pretty sure are Bluebell and they don't look the same.

Did you order them as Bluebells? They look more like Sapphire Gems.

I ordered a colored layers assortment from hoovers Hatchery.

I ended up with 5 cinnamon colored and 5 black.
I'm pretty sure all of the cinnamon colored ones are starlight green eggers.
Then one of the black/grey chickens has a little Mohawk so I'm pretty sure she is a Sapphire Olive Egger. The other four black ones I've just been guessing at.

Yellow band

Purple Band

Green Band

Blue Band

Yep, I think the black ones are Prairie Bluebells, and so is the one with the yellow band. The one with the red band is a Sapphire Olive Egger, because she’s got barring. You’ve identified all the others correct, I think. You’re going to get a nice mix of colored eggs!

Coming from Hoovers, then, I would say this is probably an Olive Egger that came from crossing a Welsummer and Legbar.
