[bella1210]

we have be getting a blueish green egg an dont know what chicken is laying it.

the egg on the left is the one in question we have black ,blue, buff,white,an lavender orphingtons an about 6-7 silkies in all diffent colors.then we have 2 hens that look like this next pick we have no idea what kind they are.

could this be our green blue egg layer?

That's an EE or Easter Egger so it does lay the blue/green eggs

I love all of the experience of people here on the board!! That chicken looks EXACTLY like my brown leghorn, minus the large, floppy comb.

 

[bella1210]

it is not an EE it is one of the chinesse breeds that get the real long tail in the roosters

Both of those birds look like Easter Eggers, which can lay blue and green eggs.

That's not an Easter Egger. It has a single comb, Mediterranean type body, and a long tale, as mentioned before like asian breeds.

Your green/blue egg layer would have a pea comb. (three rows of bumps)

They look just like my three EE's, and the egg is exactly the color that one or two of them lay -- one lays a very light sort of pinkish brown egg, I discovered the other day when I caught her in the act. But this variation in egg color is typical of EE's from what I have read. I also have a brown leghorn and she looks nothing like them, is small (not bantam) and has a huge comb that hangs over one eye.

Another thing - The pictured bird has blue tinted white earlobes. It lays white eggs.

Well, not all EEs have pea combs. Meet Carl, mr EE rooster.

Perhaps the other hen may be the culprit..The one pictured is a Phoenix and like Illia said would lay a white egg. And too this hen doesn't even appear to be in production
