Not sure really. I got her from a TSC and it was just labeled Easter egger. That’s not even a breed it’s just a title I later found out.

That doesn't look like an EE to me. What do you guys think?

Edit: guys, not guts. Sorry.

No not even. Burgundy or light brown. Sometimes there’s some deep speckles on it but nothing “rainbowy” about them. Delicious though!!

Most EE will lay a greenish or blueish egg. The "rainbow" thing is that if you have several EE, you'll have eggs of a variety of colors, as some hens lay the blue/ green eggs and some may lay a light brown or pinkish egg. Every hen lays its own unique color egg. Any color of the rainbow, so to speak.

Thank you yes we have a dog crate we can use. She’s going to be piiiiiisssed.. 3 days then?

Usually about 3 days to start with. May take longer, just depends on the hen.

Emma is a rainbow egger. She lays greenish olive. The two other “EEs” or so their label was at TSC look very similar and lay almost exactly the same egg. One has speckles sometimes the other is just plain.

This red hen lays the green egg?

 

[BigBlueHen53]

Do any of these hens have fluffy feathers on or around their faces? She's very pretty, by the way.

No the lighter one (the broody one in question) and the darker red one are my mystery breed. They each lay the two brownishred eggs. The green one is from Emma. She was labeled rainbow EE.

No. No odd feathers.

The darker red one looks like a Rhode Island Red to me. And she probably lays the darker brown egg. I'm falling asleep though, will have to come back tomorrow when my brais is actually awake, lol.

Ok. The reds look like possible RIR or red sex links.
