Chicken breed

[tlcmurphy]

If you get a white egg or a brown speckled egg, then you’ll have your answer

I'm thinking olive eggers.

EEs can lay any color eggs and look like anything.

The Ameraucana/Araucana-derived version *often*, but not always, have beards, muffs, pea combs and/or green legs.

The Legbar-derived version don't.

Olive Eggers have dark-brown layer genetics and *may* have telltale feathered feet from French Marans ancestry -- or they may not if the Marans in their background was the clean-legged type or if their dark-layer ancestry was Welsummer instead.

Easter Eggers don't have any standard (at least that's what I hear) so I kind of made up my own in my mind (muffs, beards, slate legs, etc.), but am I incorrect and they do some some type of standard? Just curious!

Are all the hens pictured laying blue or green eggs?

green but only three are laying

Im going to say they are Easter Eggers. Because i think the chicken in the top picture had a poof on its head it may have just been my device though. And i dont think leghorns or welsummers lay green eggs.

Olive Eggers. I personally view Easter Eggers as having to possess slate legs, a beard and a muff.
