@Tracygdot and @Lizzyduff any eggs from your ladies yet?

Mine lay a very nice variety of green! One even lays goldish eggs!

Love them!!
Mine are only 12 or 13 weeks, so I still have a little while.
My Seafoam Eggers that I got at the same time are beautiful. Can't wait for them all to start laying!

Not yet. Mine aren't expecting until September but I hope they look like yours! So pretty. Hoping they don't hide them in a bush... those are camouflaged well!

Finally!!
I have 3 Onyx Olive eggers (as they were labeled at my local feed store who uses Ideal hatchery). I started finding these eggs a few days ago. Today I finally saw one of them in the nesting box. I'm guessing at least two of them laid these, but I don't know yet. Love them!
*Edit to add that they're ~20 weeks

Yay!!! Congratulations! They're beautiful!

I really suspect that this is a black silkie with an egger/ameraucana mix...any ideas on it being those two breeds?

Hi! They do have crests which narrows it down but they don't have the five toes, black skin, or blue earlobes of a silkie. They also don't have the pea comb of a typical Easter egger. The eggs would be much lighter with that mix.

With the dark green eggs, crests, large combs, and black and copper coloring... I do feel strongly that they are Black Copper Marans mixed with Crested Cream Legbars.

I vaguely remember being told when I purchased mine that she was a black copper marans + legbar mix but it's been a while so I'm not sure. Mine is laying gorgeous green eggs though! I just love her. She's so sweet, but jealous if I hold any other chickens, she yanks on my pants leg to be picked up. Highly recommend these gals. Very productive and beautiful.
