Let's play guess that hybrid!

[halfdozenflock]

I purchased an olive egger, americana, and rhode island blue, all of which came from Hoover's Hatchery. All are just over 21 weeks old now. Here's a photo of each of them, along with two of their eggs, in case that helps. The greenish egg comes from the reddish colored chicken, and the brown egg comes from the greyish dotted chicken. The black chicken hasn't started laying yet.

I have my guess as to which is which, but I'm not 100% sure. Plus, I wonder if any are a different breed by mistake. Looking forward to your educated (or random) guesses. Thanks.

I am going to say brown. Is the black chicken the Rhode Island Blue?

There is no Rhode Island Blue in that group. The brown one is an Easter egger, the black one is an olive egger, and the black and white one is some kind of hybrid. It could be an olive egger that just happens to lay brown eggs, or some other hatchery creation.
