They look like girls to me, Shirley is classic girl color/pattern Betty I can't see to well, but she still looks like a girl.

I don't know then. All my green eggs have been either blue or turquoise under the membrane. I rechecked too when I just took the big bag of shells out to the raised beds this afternoon.
I agree. Second one colouring is different for a girl, but at 3.5 months, that is a girl based on comb alone.They look like girls to me, Shirley is classic girl color/pattern Betty I can't see to well, but she still looks like a girl.

I'd like to see some profile pictures of her.
My olive eggs are light blue inside also. My one brown egg layer is pale pink inside. Was reading the other day that the depth of color the blue eggs can be affected by the consumption of carotiniods. That is what gives the orange in sweet potatoes and carrots. Funny that Orange and Blue are opposite on the color wheel but the chicken uses the orange to produce blue.
