mystery chick from local CO-OP

I'm voting Sapphire Gem! Here's a photo to compare. This hen has no red leakage.

This one below also has a lot of leakage. I asked @The Moonshiner about her last summer and he sent me a link that explained the leakage. Seems they changed their breeding program and once in a while you'll get one with the red leakage on the breast.

welp… i have an update — confirmed today, the grey egg (heeeaaavily bloomed olive egg) i’ve been getting for two weeks has been laid by Noah — my mystery chicken.
so… it appears that she’s an Olive Egger.

i promised to report back and i wanted to keep my word!

thank you all for such a wonderful conversation on solving this mystery!

What a great rare egg color! Reading back through the thread, it makes total sense…her copper neck is probably from a Blue Copper Marans (which Mt Healthy does carry)!

Congratulations on solving the mystery! And thank you for the update!
