Hey all,
I'm working on ameracunas this year. Have a flock of six. 4 lavender one splash hen and a black roo. The roo I have only had for a few months and he is wonderful. Gets the job done, sweet to the ladies, and gives me my space. He comes from true blue lines, at least is what I was told. So I'm excited to see the eggs his daughters lay. Here is my question.. I know ameracunas can lay blue to minty eggs. But one of my bearded ladies is laying an olive one. Not sure who it is. Is it normal for a pure ameracuna to lay one so dark? Or dose she have a brown gene in there? All the ameracunas have slate clean legs, muffs in order, living up to the sop. I have 24 of the eggs in the incubator. I was thinking about separating the blue eggs from the green during hatch time and marking them. To see what color eggs they lay. What do you all think

Sorry I missed your tags, ladies.

I don’t see any that obviously aren’t Ameraucanas. In fact they all look really good. I’ve never seen an egg that green though. However sometimes there is a bit of a range. That is the most olive egg I’ve ever seen from one though. Not even my green laying EE's lay eggs that green.
