Chicken Friends! I need help Identifying these two girls.
I've thought bielefelder, brown leghorn, legbar, now I have no idea!

My husband said girl #2 (see photo with identification) was in the nesting box this morning, then later got this as her FIRST egg!
#1 hasn't started laying yet..


Thoughts on breeds for both #1 and #2?

Bonus question: Is it true about earlobes and egg color?

The two circled in your picture look like your Leghorns. I think that egg probably came from your CCL or the Easter Egger in the top left of the first picture, (but she doesn't look like she is laying yet.) I'd go with whichever has the reddest comb of those two breeds (the CCL or the EE).

The earlobe thing is *loosely* correlated with egg color.

Very pretty egg!
 
Okay, sorry, I got confused; I thought you *had* a Cream Crested Legbar that wasn't pictured. If those are all the chickens you have, the black chicken with the muffs (Easter Egger) probably laid it.

Do you think one of them is a CCL? Ironically, when I bought her I was told she was a CCL, ha! But she doesn't have a crest

The black one is an Easter Egger, but she hasn't started laying yet I don't think, we haven't seen her in the nesting boxes yet nor is she doing the submissive squat.

The yellow one is the whiting true green, she just started laying last week but her eggs are a much deeper green.

The yellow one and #2 definitely have the reddest combs out of the bunch.

Neither of them are Cream Legbars. I think they could possibly be a hybrid that were bred to lay green eggs. #1 and #2 are likely the same breed. I will be interested to see what color #1 lays!

Leghorns, Both o them
 
I'm stumped! We got two eggs yesterday, and I know the black EE isn't laying yet.
(white egg is store bought)
