Is this a Prairie Bluebell Egger?

[Marymc31]

I purchased some chicks in September and got the prettiest blue egg today. I thought I had only one prairie bluebell, but there is no way she’s laying yet. Is it possible this pullet (photo attached—big brown/black one in front) is also a prairie bluebell?? She definitely acts ready to lay and is my biggest pullet from that group.

She probably is a prairie bluebelle. She has the right coloring.

Thank you so much! That definitely solves my little mystery blue egg!

This is what mine looks like, the thing to look for is the blue ear lobe that is how you can tell if the egg will be blue. This one lays the bluest egg in my coop.

Unless already identified, here’s your blue egger.

How interesting, thank you for the tip! What should I look for with the ear lobe? They all seem to have white ear lopes but I haven’t looked closely.

This one lays a blue/greenish egg, she’s a year old so not my brand new blue layer. She lays the blue/green egg on the right side in this photo.

It's a myth that ear lobe color is linked to egg color.

Silkies are the ones that break that rule.

Ah, ok.
Then yes, the brown bird is a Bluebell.
