Little grey speckled eggs

[LadiesAndJane]

Do either of your sapphire gems have a little tuft of crest at the top of the head?

OKAY ANOTHER UPDATE ... just caught our Rhode Island Red leaving the nest box and there is another olive grey egg in there! What in the world? So SHE is the one laying them. Obviously she is not a Rhode Island Red! Now I have no idea what she is

Could we have pictures?

Photos of the birds would be helpful!

Yes! Here you go, our two suspects:
#1. This is the hen that we thought was a Rhode Island Red, but now we're pretty sure she is the one laying olive green eggs????
#2. This hen might also be a suspect, we are pretty sure she is a Sapphire Gem though!

First one looks like a possible welsommer/cream leg bar cross which would explain the olive green eggs! Definitely not a Rhode Island Red.
Second one is a sapphire gem and likely both your brown eggs are coming from your two sapphire gems. Gorgeous birds!
