Green egg layers

[proudmommie31]

No, sorry I could see my original wording was a bit confusing. both are Easter eggers (the name the hatchery gave the breed) but one lays a pretty blueish green egg, the other a olive green color. There’s only two of them total. It only happened once and wasn’t a super huge deal. I was just curious as I was pretty sure the rest of the flock either lays some version of brown or white. I’ll take a extra surprise green egg any day!

Ah, OK...only time will tell.
Were both olive eggs hard shelled?
Not likely to get two hard shelled eggs in one 24 hour period...tho a hard and a soft is not uncommon with new layers. Tho you check frequently, sometimes eggs can get buried in nest bedding...but I'm guessing you're checking pretty thoroughly.

They were both hard shelled, which is why I wondered if any of the other layers could possibly lay green as well. Yeah, lol, I have a 9 and 6 yr old, they all but turn the nexts inside out looking for any egg they can find, couldn't miss them in there, and the one on the floor was dead center of the coop. Maybe it was one of those once in a lifetime things

Just so you know, an Olive Egger is an Easter Egger. The only distinction being one of it's parents lays a dark brown egg as opposed to some other color.
