Last July I brought 6 mixed eggs on eBay, only three of them hatched. I have identified one of them as a barred rock but I don't know what the other two are. This is them

They are both thick set docile birds. The white one
Lays an extremely large, almost red egg. The black one has a few goldfish feathers on her neck and lays a slightly smaller, olive green egg. I believe the black one my have a bit of barred rock in but I really don't know. If anyone could help that would be great!

They are as you said, mixed breed hens. The black one could be called an oliver egger, but she is still a mix breed, since that is all an olive egger is. Pretty hens by the way, hope you enjoy them.

I agree, they're mixed to the point where no specific breed jumps out.

The black bird may have some Rock in her, if you hadn't said the olive egg I'd have called her a black sex link.
