Looks like my final pullet may be an olive egger!!!

Well, my final pullet Dot(possibly changing to Polly) has finally started laying, and wouldn't ya know it I think she just might be an olive egger. Her egg is darker than the others and has the same color inside shell as outside while the others have a light blue inside.

Infact the pullet (Gladys) was first to lay and I thought it was blueish/green but next to Dot's egg Gladys' looks more brownish/green. And then there is Dash(now Dolly) and her egg is a nice robins egg blue.

Pictured are the 3 eggs I found yesterday compared to the eggs that I know, from seeing them lay, came from Gladys & Dash. And then I have the old hen Henryetta that lays cream when she is laying.....so when ya line them up beside each other it looks like a printer is running low on ink lol.

Dot and Dash came from same hatching but lay different eggs.....but hey I am lucky as I will always know which hen isn't laying since they all lay different shades.

Isn't it great to have enough difference to know who's laying which egg? Yours are certainly pretty.

I was a bit disappointed that only one of my Easter Eggers lays a green egg, but I was pretty darned happy that my "mystery" girl turned out to be a Prairie Bluebell Egger.

I would love to be able to post one. Some technological challenges there, but one of these days I will flood BYC with photos of my wonderful babies!

That is odd.......wonder if it's a glitch or will continue?

I have an Olive Egger whose eggs look like that. She is such a champion egg layer that I have incubated several of her eggs just to get her offspring.
Congrats!

So you would agree she is probably an olive egger? This is her.

If she's laying an olive egg, then she's an Olive Egger.
They come in many different colors/patterns depending on their parentage.
Is that a current pic?

I agree with aart.
