Rhode Island red laying green egg??

[Shkoda]

We have 2 rhode island reds that are 1 year old each. We also have an americuana, olive egger, and a silver laced wyandotte, all of which are 5 weeks old. We got the rhode island reds yesterday, today they both layed and egg. One was brown, and the other green. Is it normal for a rhode island red to lay a green egg? I highly doubt that one of our 5 week old chicks would lay an egg.

If it lays a green egg, then it's an Easter Egger and not a true RIR. Are they bearded?

What do you mean by "bearded" ?

Bearded means they will have fluffy faces! Try to get us a picture and we can let you know if it looks like a pure RIR to us. Or at least make sure that that egg is really green.

are you sure it was the RIR that layed the green egg? maybe it was the Americana

The Americuana is only 5 weeks old. Isn't it too young to lay eggs?

here is a hen of mine that lays blue/green eggs. I think she is an EE mix
