Now im wondering if my one new black hen who i thought laid the light green eggs laid the olive one....i never saw her lay the light green ones, so I'm wondering if she laid the olive one as she was in the nesting box with it and when i went out just now there was no light green egg in the box( i did get a light green one this morning around 7 am)

Here is my EE hen, Tamale. She is almost 2 years old & she is the boss hen around here. Here she is checking out my new pullets in the tractor: I don't know what to call her color, she is some kind of black/blue brown Columbian! Her color came in very nicely after her molt.

Got one similar head isn't as dark but the rest looks the same. I call mine a Blue Gold Duckwing, but that's just me. It's something I do to be able to tell mine apart.

I believe it is called lemon blue; it is misleading because it is not "real" lemon. I am breeding for this, using a blue birchen hen and trying to get more of that as well.

Cool, do you have a picture of her?

The roo may be carrying birchen as his chest is spotted with blue; here is my birchen hen (lacing, same dark neck as the lemon blue)

No but I'll try to get one this weekend as I'll start moving the hens around getting ready for an Easter hatch. Don't want to disturb them too much.

My first Easter Egger pullet of the year started laying! I found a nice blue egg in the coop today!

Congratulations. It is very exciting whenever you get that first egg especially from one that you raised yourself.
