These 2 eggs are from my barred EE hen. She laid one Sunday and one today. I'm not really sure what color they are. The are the same eggs in different light took with my iPhone and flash.

Congrats! How old are they? Mine took forever too! May to December for two of them,till February for one and still one hold out! Worth the waut though. Right? Pretty colors!
 
Looks like what people call an olive egger. I have 3 EE's; two lay blue and the third a light brown. No olive egger here. I'm jealous.

Guessing shes about 30 something weeks. I stopped counting lol. But very worth the wait. Was hoping for blue but very happy with these.

That's what I was thinking but not sure how. I got eggs from a old lady. She called them bantams. So she must have had a marans or another dark egg laying breed. Bc they hatched from a blue egg. I excited bc if she laid blue I was going to start a barred olive egger project.
 
Bantum is just related to the size not the breed right? She was probably a mix herself. Had to have some green egg breed in there at some point I believe.
