Strange egg color?

Agreed. A rooster won't affect egg color, and that bird is a hen.

Good catch on the "rooster"

Wait are you serious? The last two pictures are a hen!? We though it was a rooster and I posted them here a couple of times when they were younger and everyone always said it was a rooster!

Maybe it is her egg, then!

Wait really? I’m not familiar with what chicken the last one is since that was the one I was told was mixed but I’ve uploaded their picture a few times on here and been told it’s a rooster sorry about the redundant question but how can you tell it’s a hen? It was easy to identify the Orpington because I knew it was an Orpington but not this one

Are you sure she laid it? Just because she's in the box doesn't mean she laid the egg. What other hens do you have??

As far as I knew just one but apparently the second darker chicken in the picture is a hen so maybe it was her egg

Female specific coloring. Post a good side view photo of her.

Our Orps laid darker eggs initially, though not that dark. As their laying cycle went on they got lighter. Our girls also would lay dark then light in the beginning as things worked themselves out with their laying. Maybe this is what is happening? Not sure, there are some very experienced people on here that may have much more info, this is just my experience.

Thank you! I appreciate it and will keep a look out for future egg colors!

Looks like some type of leghorn mix. She has no saddle feathers, no pointy hackles and no sickle feathering and hens coloring.

Omg it probably is! this is such big news! Thank you

Doesn't have male coloring. Looks like a welsummer to me- I think it was her egg.
