Mystery Layer

[Sierra pachie bars]

I have a mystery layer, Could this hen be giving me a Olive green egg ? She is seen in and around nesting box, not actually seen her lay it. I was told she layed brown, however all signs point to her. By Looks I would assume she would lay brown.

I am thinkin maybe not that hen... Could be but.... Olive green eggs come from easter eggers. I was gonna ask if you have an EE, but apparently you do!

She kinda looks like an EE.

could be... as her comb looks pea-combed to me, and apparently there is a very strong correlation with pea combs and the blue gene for egg laying, which, combined with the brown tint from RIR, would get you a green egg. COOL! I have what looks like a blue cochin, with a touch of a crest, which says she may have some silkie back there, and a pea comb as well as some brown little flecks in her feathers which screams out Ameraucana, and she lays the most delightful mint green egg, hence her name, "Minty"

I agree with the above -- it's a gene that gives the green egg color, not necessarily the breed, so your hen could have that gene.
