Idea on breed of these 2 hens ?

[lhines08]

Anyone have any idea one breeds. At first I thought they were easter Eggers but I have not got a single green egg yet. Now I'm not sure what they are or what color eggs to expect from them.. currently getting brown and white. White I assume are from the leghorns and brown we have Rhode island reds, and lavander .. pics of our typical egg color range and the two girls in question. They were hatched at my sons school and he brought them home over a year ago.

I'd still go with Easter Eggers.
EEs aren't a breed or even a particular hybrid. Usually they're a line of birds that had blue egg layers in the mix at some point. Lots of them only carry one gene for blue eggs and many don't carry any.
Yours were probably from a line that outcrossed to other breeds or contained enough birds that didn't carry any or only one blue shell gene so luck or unlock of the draw neither of them received a blue shell gene.

They do look like my EEs, I do know not all of them lay colored eggs. They could just be mixed breeds as well.

Okay that make sense! The one seems to have light color earlobes so I was not sure if they are late to lay or just brown! Haha

The brown one?
It looks like it has a bit of a crest so probably some legbar blood. Legbars have white lobes so that could be where that's coming from.

Actually the grey one !

They probably both have legbar blood somewhere in their past

The grey one has the typical coloring and beard of an Easter Egger.

The brown one looks like an Olive Egger. I would guess a Welsummer and Crested Cream Legbar mix.

As the others posted, mixes aren't guaranteed to lay colorful eggs. You could try putting a camera facing the nest boxes to see which eggs they lay. Or you could try the "lipstick" trick. It's where you put different colored lipstick or food coloring around the vent and the egg will get smeared with the color. I've never tried that method but others have with success.

The do both look like EEs, though I’m definitely no expert.

Got our first green egg! Looks like they were just late to lay !
