Beautiful eggs!My girls have started laying again FINALLY
Swore I would not hatch chicks this year BUT the green egg hatch a long is so temping... A you see I have way to many chickens already...
Doing a happy dance the eggs from the store are so yukky tasting....
I so cannot get the right color they are with a camera,
Aww thanks!
Sorry for the late reply. My Stepdad has cancer and is in the hospital. I haven't been online much.
Ok... breeds..
The rooster was an Ameraucana. Not sure what colour tho. I'm also not sure if he's a purebred, but he was sold as one...
All the moms of the chickens who laid these eggs were purebred, they were inherited from a lady who kind of "collected" breeds LOL. My friend and I have tried to figure out what they all are, as we are pretty new to chickening LOL! These are our guesses.
Dark Brahma
Light Brahma
Blue Cochin
Black Australorp
Ameraucana (Her eggs didn't hatch, I think she was too old)
Maybe an Orpington
Third from the bottom on the left is one of the few I don't know who laid. Also the one underneath it, which is spotted purple. It's hard to tell in the picture. I can only tell you it's NOT from the brahmas, the australorp or the ameraucana hens.
There are 12 in all, and we still have to figure some out. Here are some of the original moms. If you spot one you know, sing out!
Ameraucana (cross?) Moulting.. poor guy
White OEGB roo, if he managed to fertilize any eggs, it will make my year. he's such an amazingly friendly nutcase.
Teenage kid on the far left Dark Brahma (?) on the near left
Teenage kids
The one and only original green egg layer Ameraucana mom in the middle with the teenagers
So these ones are second generation. Except for Mish, Their moms are above and they have mated with their half brother as well as Mish, a brown leghorn/ISA brown cross.
This is Olive, she laid my avatar LOL!
The Ameraucana cross photobombing is now in the freezer
His mom was the dark brahma (we think)
The one in the foreground (pumpkin) lays a very nice orange/peach egg
Pumpkin from another angle (she was a feather picker, so now she wears pinless peepers)
This is a picture of Mish when he was a baby(ish)
I know that's not particularly helpful for you, but it was fun for me LOLOL!
OK what I see and what I guess Picture 1 Americana 2. pretty EE roosters 3 Your little cute boy and BR 4 Silver penciled Wyandotte or Rock cross.. 5 EE and BR 6 Starting at the top of the picture I see, 2 BR's EE a Speckled Sussex I think or an Ancona can't see the comb good if its a huge comb its the later, and I think either a Lavender Opington or cochin, an EE & another BR, and I can't see who's hiding under the saw horse, maybe a red sexlink? but can't really tell LOL 7 EE cross columbian Delaware? does it have feathered feet? could then be an EE cross to a brahma. 8 EE Crooss maybe to a welsummer does she lay an olive egg? if so that would be my guess... 9 same hen as pic. 8? welsummer cross and a black astrolorp 10 Cute little roo's and EE and your little guy OEGB?Aww thanks!

I don't think you will get any eggs from that top one. Looks like a cockerel.Just wanted to share a couple pictures. my mother has been raising these ones for me and they just came home today. They are Olives mixed with Wyandotte(much higher percentage). Their mommas lay colored eggs so I am hoping these girls might too, have a couple months longer until i know for sure though!
Pretty chicks!Here are some pic's of my family's new EE chicks. This is our first time raising EE's. They are so cute and we are really excited to see all the different colors once they feather out.
