Probably just a mix. Where did you get her?

 

[cooingdove]

ah she was hatched at our farm, I really wanna find out because I want to breed more like her.

Just a mix, then. What color egg did she come from? What breeds of hens do you have? What breeds of roosters?

 

[cooingdove]

I think that she came from a green egg. in our flock we have bard rocks, partridge rocks, lackenvelders, buff laced something-y-or-other, silver laces wacha-ma-call-ems, and many more. sorry for the confusingness of my list, no pressure to put any further thought into this 'cause as you can see that our chicken gene pool is a COMPLETE MESS!

I don't see anything on that list that would lay a green egg, so I don't know what she could have come from.

oooppps! EEs thats the one I forgot!

Well then she's probably from an EE. Are your roosters the same breeds as on the list?

 

[cooingdove]

yes
