Olive Egger Black Australorps?

And since the ball is rolling:
This was my first egg in the pen with the Ameraucana, Olive Egger and BC Maran..... My only guess is the BCM laid it, but it appears much too light. It was 3 different shades in what I'm calling a "camo" coloring (dark "orange", light brown, and a darker white).

Am I getting screwed, or do I have bizarre birds?

And here is the Maran, Ameraucana and OE. (And thats some poo on her back, not coloring,)

From today. They really didn't want to go in the sun, for some reason.
 
I agree, they basically look like Australorps, but if they're laying green eggs they're clearly not pure bred birds. Gotta be mixed with something, somewhere along the line.
 
If you have more than one Ameracauna, then some are Ameracaunas mixed with a brown egg rooster breed and that causes the green eggs. I ended up with that and to my excitement one of them is a dark olive layer, one light green and 4 light blue. Now I wish they were all olive eggers just because I like camoflauged eggs.
