What is her comb like? it is hard to see that in the pic. Maybe a mix??

Does she have muffs? It kind of looks like it in the picture. If she does, I would say she is an EE, if not, I would say she is a production red.

Anything hatched out of a green egg, could be an Easter Egger and has the potential to lay green eggs. Do you have baby chick pictures? If it had a stripe pattern on its back when it was a baby, it still could be an EE.
With the photo you have provided here, it is hard to see the comb, but some of the neck feathers do look a little like an EE.
Leg color can be anything in an EE, so that does not tell anything. Also EEs not necessarly have ear muffs. I have 2 hens without those and they both lay some pretty green eggs.
Because hatcheries breed about anything with EE roosters to get EE chicks, your chances of having an EE are still pretty good.

Wow, so much info! Yesterday I got my first egg ever, a brown one, and I don't know who laid it.
Here she is as a baby (the brown one in profile):

And here she is as an adolescent:

I don't have a current pic of her comb (I'll work on that) but it is a typical shape on top, with 2 half-circle wattles underneath her chin. Her face has short whiskery feathers near her beak. I'm thinking: chicken mutt?

Okay, here is the mugshot ...

Now, what breed is the perp?

And thanks for sending me on a photo shoot ... I found this in the day run:

It's egg #2!! And now I don't have to start a thread with the question: do chickens only lay eggs in the morning?

It is not uncommon for the birds in different bins to get mixed up--I know that I have "rescued" birds that had managed to escape from the brooder a couple of times, and while I was particular about which bin it went back into, not everyone would be, or would even realize that it made a difference. Years ago we got two "araucanas" at a feed store--one was an easter egger that laid a brown egg and the other was a light brown leghorn!

Also, the feedstores sometimes have more than one breed in a single brooder. Usually the chicks look different, but often there may be chicks in a different brooder that are similar in appearance. If a chick gets out? Where does it go?
