Same chicken??

Is the blue one in the back an OE possibly? Maybe the greenish one is from her?

She was the one laying on the greenish one this morning. I thought she was just missing her brown eggs and was laying on someone else's....

Thats the only one that looks like possibly could be laying green. But maybe one of your others is a mix! Very pretty egg either way

I thought she was a barrock

It's called a Barred Plymouth Rock aka Barred Rock, but you don't have one.

“Barring” refers to the alternating bands of black and white that makes them look striped. (My 8-year-old grandson calls our BR “Zebra.”) There are other Plymouth Rocks that aren’t barred (white, etc.)

Male BR’s have two bands of white for every black, while females have one each, so the males look lighter/greyer if you unfocus your eyes a bit.

Glad you posted this! I was wondering about EE, but its overall dark plumage made me pause.

I’ve found a couple breeds with the dark plumage that lay colored eggs. You got lucky and got one! I have one too but she’s laying brown unfortunately. They’re such pretty birds.
