That green egg is gorgeous! So is the pullet. I agree, she must have black copper maran mixed in, plus the blue egg gene which sounds like came from her dad's dad.

WOW! I didn't know that they could look that dark of a green! I love it! It's so pretty!!!!Our ugly mutt chicken just laid her 1st egg. It too is ugly! LOL I'm so excited I just had to share.
This pullet hatched from an egg that was stored in the fridge waiting to be cooked for breakfast. While loading up the incubator, my daughter asked to add this particular egg from her fav hen. Surprisingly it hatched after being in the fridge for over 3 days. We named the chick Omelet, & it soon became a favorite. Omelet's dad is an EE that hatched from a pink egg & her mom is a barnyard mix who lays simple brown eggs. Omelet looks nothing like either parent. At times she barely looked like a chicken. (Had no tail for a very long time, odd comb, & no cheeks.) Now she's making olive green eggs. Where did that color come from??? I expected pinkish or brown. The mom must have quite an unusual mix. I included a pic of the green egg next to our pink, brown & blue eggs.
Tough one. I'm leaning toward pullet as well.

So, I have an update on my two EE's. Still not positive on their genders. However, I've just recently caught Cinder starting to squat just a little bit and her comb has really gotten red lately. Here is Cinder:
However, still no signs one way or the other for Ember:
"She" is relatively quiet and gentle. And is always with Cinder! They should be about the same age, so I just don't know what to think with Ember.
Any ideas?
