Orpington or Barred Rock × Game Breed Laying Green Eggs

[NatJ]

Looks like an Easter Egger cross to me.

That comb type seems particularly common on such crosses (pea comb is common on Easter Eggers, and when they're crossed to a breed with a single comb, you get a comb like that.)

He seems way too big and chunky to me to be a game bird or a game bird cross, I'd bet he could totally have some easter egger in him

Here's the pictures I got of him today.

He's definitely an Easter Egger mix, and turned out beardless. His comb is modified and doesn't really meet any comb 'standard.'

Do you have pictures of the ones you're suspecting of laying the green eggs?

Yes she's definitely buff orpington! She's my broody little mama every year.

Not good ones. Here are the best I could get today. They are the two in the back of the picture. Don't mind the photo-bombing orp in front

from what I can see with their combs, they're definitely EE mixes! And really pretty ones too. Their color pattern suggests they came from the Orpingtons, at least imo. Black over gold creates black hens with gold or red leakage.

as an example, https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...stralorp-cross-look-like.103172/#post-1170702 this is a Black Cochin Roo x Buff Orp hen.

With your EE roo tho your next babies might be a little more randomized! EE genes are all over the place and often don't create the same offspring twice.

The only thing he has in common with a game is his color.
