@cherrynberry, I know you're a lot more experienced at this than I am, but are you sure the hen in the top 2 pics is an EE? She looks a lot like my Brown Leghorns, especially with the white earlobe and I don't see any fluffy feathering around her face. If she is a BL, she should lay a white egg.

Never mind. I guess she has to be an EE, since two birds are laying colored eggs and the RIR has to be responsible for the brown egg. Sorry, sitting down now.

Brown leghorns are gold duckwing, do you see the extra "patterning" in that girls feathers?

A lot of EEs are gold duckwing aswell, which is why they look similar.

No, I'm not at all sure what is meant by duckwing. Does OP's bird have the extra patterning, or not?

 

[BigBlueHen53]

Oh, do you mean like the "penciling" or whatever it's called? A leghorn wouldn't have that?

Yeah. She is an EE. She has what appears to be very odd lacing or pencilling of some sort. And her earlobe looks tinted.

Gotcha, thanks.
