Figured out how to post pix!! Yippee! So that's the hen I thought was laying the greenish blue eggs. My camera colors are a bit off.

The red hen outside the enclosure is an Easter Egger. She's probably your green layer. The dark one looks to be a black sexlink.

Thank you!! It's been a mystery. I don't know what a sex link is. I'll look it up. The red one was sold as a RIR to me by feedstore. But I'm sure you know your stuff. I'll read up on both of these. Thanks!!!!

RIR would have the same kind of comb as your dark hen. The red chicken has a pea comb and Easter Eggers usually have pea combs. One of the ones in the enclosure looks like it might also be an Easter Egger but I can't see her well enough to be sure. Do you get more than one green egg sometimes?

@RealtreeGal the buff bird is an Easter Egger. The other bird has coloring similar to a Black Sex Link but since she is crested she is a mixed breed.

Hi. No we only get or greenish blue egg every 3 days. The two other hens I think are Wyandottes, at least thsts how they were described to me when I bought them. One looks like a silver and the other like a gold. They lay beige eggs. The silver/black one is a talker and very easy to herd when I want them back in their pen area after a few hours of free ranging.

The black sex link, any ideas what breeds she may be from? She has black legs and is quiet and her black body feathers look blue when sunlight hits them just right.
