Help Identifying My Mystery Hens! 🐓

Yeah, I was going to go with her, too (the SG) with those bright red combs and wattles. Nugget should be giving you white eggs and is the only one on the list that I thought couldn't be it (but has the 2nd largest/reddest combs and wattles).

Also, Nugget could be a hatchery quality White Leghorn, but I chose CA White because I thought I saw some black spots. If she gets more black spots (which they usually do), definitely a CA White.

Nugget is pure white. I think that the specks are just a bit of mud. It seems like she should be producing eggs soon!

They are in the order pictured (sorry I should have mentioned that). Here they are named:

Oooh, wow! You think that Red is a SGE? I was thinking a brown leghorn with those white earlobes. I would love some green eggs in my basket.

Yeah, they are supposed to have Pea combs (but I don't think the bird Hoover's uses in their picture has a pea comb .)

Haha no definitely not I was thinking buckeye for that one cause of the comb and the dark plumage.

Also, Red and Summer have different colored legs. Summer may be a Starlight but do you think, Red is with those dark legs and patterned feathers? She’s the one throwing me for a loop lol

Dulce and Stranger are going to give you some color too! Brown Leghorns have yellowish feathers around their neck. Very pretty. And single combs.

Thank you! I was thinking Luna was a Sapphire Gem too! Either that or the Sapphire Olive Egger.

I think that there are 1 or 2 layers. I think 2 or 3 of the tan eggs had teeny tiny brown speckles.

Looking at all the red combs, I don’t know who else would be giving you brown eggs

Yes. SGE are Prairie Bluebells crossed with a brown egg layer, but it's Hoover's and looks like they've thrown almost any breed in there. (Examples: Four(ty) Colors of SGE.) Yours looks like a Prairie Bluebell crossed with a Production Red. Those white earlobes and pea comb come from the Prairie Bluebell (PBs are Leghorn-Araucana crosses).

The only difference between Hoover's Starlight Green Egger and an Easter Egger is a ™.

There's a small chance any of the eggers could lay brown/tan eggs.

Goldie: Gold Laced Wyandotte
Red/Summer-hatchery Egger mix. Possibly Starlight Green Egger
Nugget: White Leghorn
Stranger/Dulcé: classic Easter Eggers (Hoover’s calls them Americanas)
Jackie: Australorp (I can see her white skin)
Luna: Sapphire Gem

Thank you for explaining that! I love this site and all the info. I learn something new everyday!
