Green egg layers

[proudmommie31]

I went out this am and collected 9 eggs. We have 2 easter eggers out of 15 total chickens. We saw the one that lays a blueish egg had already laid and I told the kids maybe the other one that lays olive green eggs would lay later today. I went out a couple hours later and found 3 more eggs, 2 of them olive green. One in the nest and one out in the middle of the coop floor. I'm wondering if any of the other breeds could lay a green egg? (Or maybe ms olive green layer was just over enthusiastic today ). I have rhode Island reds, speckled sussex, brown leghorns, easter eggers, light brahama, buff orpingtons and golden laced wynadotte.

As far as i know all of those breeds with the exemption of EE's dont lay green eggs...

easter eggers can lay green eggs.

easter eggers can lay green eggs.

Yep. We have two. I was just curious if the 3 green eggs I found today were only theirs or if someone else had joined in laying colored eggs

What's the possibility of more than 2 birds in your flock being EE ?

none. Unless they are seriously incognito

Sounds like one of your Easter Eggers started laying a few days ago and the eggs didn’t get collected. Happened to me once with 2 Leghorn pullets. By the time I relized they were laying I had half a dozen eggs in the bedding.

I can totally see why you'd think that. Except we have been collecting eggs 3-4 times a day for weeks now and had cleared the coop of all eggs (including one green one) 2 hours before the other 2 green ones showed up.
