This is a barn yard mixed Easter egger. I got some fertile eggs from a local farmer. About 60 chickens ran the yard together. all he could tell was he had some rumpless Araucanas in the mix and that is were the blue eggs came from. You can see the crock behind her is from the same batch. What color is she? and What else do you think she has in her?




 
If she's from the same hatch as the cockerel behind her, then she's an EE. She look like she has some Welsummer in her.
 
Yea i know she is an EE. Just wondered if any one had a guess as to what her mix is. He did not have any Welsummer or Maran or other dark layers. Lots Red hens, RIR, Red Comets, and production layers. he did have silkies for brooding and astrolorps. Lots of barn yard mix that were hatched on there own. He said that he like the blue eggs and always put the bluest in the bator. This hen could be several generation of EE. The egg was the most blue i had ever seen. I can only assume she will lay a greed egg from all the production brown in the pen. She hatched April 3, 2012 so it should not be very long now.
PS this is a young cock from the same group of eggs. He was a yellow chick with a black strip down his back. He had muffs and a short tail and a spiky single comb.
 
So no ideas on what her color is called?

Since Easter Eggers are not a Breed and have a mix Heritage (cross bred) they have no real variety /color pattern.
