Hello!
I have a pair of 6-month-old hens named Poppy and Qwenog. I received them as eggs from my pet chicken. As far as I knew from the color and initials on the eggs, Poppy is a Black Olive Egger and Qwenog in a Green Magnolia Easter Egger. Both of these breeds are crosses that could result in a brown egg layer of 1 in 16 eggs. Qwenog does look like the green magnolia easter egger pictured on the website, but I believe she has been laying cream-colored eggs. As in Poppy, who, as a chick, looks nothing like the other black olive egger chicks pictured on the website. Either both of these hens are laying cream colored eggs or my salmon favorelle has been laying about 3 or 4 eggs in the past 20 hours or so. And I know that the days are long right now but that's just impossible, right?
Here is a picture of Poppy's egg and as a chick and an adult (she is the one in the front of the last photo). What breed do you think she is? The two of them both look so similar to the Green Magnolia Easter Egger pictured on the my pet chicken website. Are they possibly the same breed?
