My Easter egger laying mint and now olive colored eggs

[TEXchickendude]

Well she's Been laying mint green eggs for a while now since like October early Nov maybe. But today I found the first olive egg

Coating color and density can change,
don't think I've ever seen one change that much tho,
but would be the only explanation with no other blue shelled birds in your flock.

Well this is today's egg, it's regular mint green color I dont think the picture shows the color well. I guess that olive egg could have Been a one time thing

 

[lazy gardener]

Odd. Now, if she had quit laying for the winter, and just started back up, that might account for the darker egg. But if that were the case, the dark eggs would continue. Is it even remotely possible that there's a mystery bird who is just now coming on line?

Time to stalk the chicken coop......might be one day you have a minty and an olive.

What color egg does the American game hen lay ?

I have an olive egger that lays a range of colored eggs BUT, they are always on the green side, sometimes quite dark olive and sometimes a pale drab almost light grey. I dont know what to tell you but your lavender colored hen is lovely!!

What color egg does the American game hen lay ?

She layes white eggs I was told she is hatch claret mix I guess that's like her bloodline or something. To me she's just a regular hen I don't support a cruel sport
