I have six chickens - 2 RIR, 2 goldens, and 2 easter eggers (sold as Americanas at the local feed store). I got my first egg on Christmas Day - a very nice present. Today I received 6 eggs for the first time escept now I am confused about the egg color. I thought the RIR and the goldens would lay dark brown eggs. I was getting a light tan egg and brown eggs so I thought the tan egg was from one of the Easter Eggers. Recently I started to get one green egg - must be the other Easter Egger. So today I got two green eggs. I went out at about 8 am to give the chicks some treats and checked for eggs - no eggs. About 11 am I check on them and there are 3 eggs - one green, one tan, and one brown. About 2 pm I check again, and get one brown and one green egg. Now that's confusing - I wouldn't expect that Easter Egger to lay two green eggs in a day so now I am wondering if both my Easter Eggers are laying green eggs. So who is laying the tan egg? Could it be the golden? Oh yes, at 6 pm I did a final chekc to close up the coop and there was a nice brown egg with some dark speckles - my daughter thought it was a wonderful spotted egg. It may take awhile to figure out who is laying the tan egg but could it be one of the goldens? What do you all think?
