We have four OE that are currently laying (the others are five weeks old and not in flock)

Sharing their colored eggs over the past couple of weeks as the last two days I have gotten pale minty(ish) green ones from them! Lol

Yes, we did change feed, from commercial to a feed mill, same protein content and same basic make.

They are almost a full years old, and did slow down and molt over their first winter. Not a hard molt just a few feathers.

They are super noisy and friendly.

Just fun to see the differences!

The four eggs above the red line are the newest(Sat), and the four in middle of browns/tans are from Sun. The others are from the last couple of weeks. And yes, it's very hard to photograph the color but you can at least see the shades.

They are beautiful hens! Do you think that changing the feed resulted in the greenish eggs? (Curious because I was considering getting an olive egger at one point).
