I have 6 pullets, all are about 10wks old. The breeds are Lavender Orpington, Black Australorp, Olive Egger, Blue Laced Gold Wyandotte, Dark Brahma, and Cuckoo Marans. They are all from the Farm Store and I'm wondering what color egg they will all lay. I know what color Olive Eggers lay (obviously lol), I know what color Cuckoo Marans lay (that's why I got one), and I know that color Orrington's lay (I have an adult Buff Orp hen); but what color will everyone else lay? If you have any of these hens, pictures of their eggs are greatly appreciated! I want to be familiar with egg colors for when they start laying eggs, so that I can keep track of who's laying what.
Thank you!
 
I know what color Olive Eggers lay (obviously lol)
😆 it should be obvious, but of my original 3 OEs, only 1 laid an olive egg. One lays a dark khaki colored egg and one lays a sometimes speckled light brown egg. For my 2 original EEs, one lays a green egg and one lays a light brown egg. I also had 3 other beige egg laying girls. It was so much fun trying to figure out who was laying what:barnie I believe the store sourced all the chicks from Hoover Hatchery.
Eggs 2,3,and 4 are from my OEs, egg 12 is from my BCM 🙂

Do you have an Orpington? 1 kind of looks like my Buff Orpington's eggs. You have such a colorful and diverse egg collection! ❤️

No Orpingtons. 5 and 6 are Dominique, 7 is Speckled Sussex and 1 is one of my original EEs. Thanks! - this picture is from 2 years ago, the only time all of my chickens laid eggs on the same day☺️ Hoping that it happens again some day for an updated picture🤞
