I have two barred mixed breed hens and 1 silkie rooster. We were told the silkie was female when we got her as a pullet, but then she started crowing and hasn't stopped, so we assumed she was a he.
But today I found 3 very different colored eggs! One light brown, one greenish-gray, and one small dark brown. Could the first two have come from the same hen or do I actually have 3 hens?!
ETA: Since I seemed to have stumped everyone, I have updated with a photo. Quiz of the day: How many hens layed these eggs?
