I love this shade of green!! I'm actually not that big a fan of the truly olive colors , but this is gorgeous.

I can understand that. The olive eggs can be a bit dirty looking.

They're just sort of... dun? a little too much tan mixed it?

What breed(-ish) is Delphina? I'm assuming something with a lot of Ameraucana (the real ones), what with all the beard and muff. Or is she an Olive Egger that you did get in an earlier order? She's quite beautiful!

My two Easter Eggers are completely clean-feathered - no random sprouting around their heads and necks.

She is an Ameraucana-type Easter Egger (Americana)...unless another mix-up happened!

I don't think the Olive Eggers from Hoover's look like this, but I could be wrong.

Mine (several months apart in age; from different hatcheries) are the Silver Duckwing colorations. The older lays lovely mint-green (bluish-greenish) eggs, and the younger is too young to lay yet. I was sort of hoping that the younger one would have the more golden coloring of Delphina, but I love her anyway!

Beautiful girls! Do you know what breeds might be in their lineage?

Not a clue! I buy from a local NPIP breeder who also sells chicks and pullets, and they are advertised as straight-out Easter Eggers, no nonsense about Americana and so forth.

- ok, I take this back. Soon after I started posting here, I asked for any educated guesses, and someone (I will have to excavate the post and his name) said that they looked like the original Easter Eggers, I think meaning with more of the actual Ameraucana lineage, and less of the Cream Legbars (which have partial Ameraucana/Auracana lineage to get the blue egg gene in there.)

This would make sense, because they have zero extra feathering (as would be expected with Cream Legbars), pea combs (at least Lil does), and slate blue legs that turn to willow green around 12 weeks or so.
