What breed: Egg edition! Mystery eggs with hints!

[RipleyBipley]

Hi! I purchased a fun $5-for-12 box of hatching eggs; hen's choice.

They also gave me a list of breeds they keep

Could we guess what eggs belong to which breed? Nothing serious, just for fun

Thanks in advance!

Breed list:
- F1 Olive eggers
- Easter eggers
- Wellsummers
- Barred rock
- PR
- Cinnamon Queen
- Black australorp
- BCM
- Lavender Orphington
- other brown egg layers

to me egg #3 looks dead on like the eggs I get from my Rhode Island Red hens.

And all those blue eggs must be Lavender Orphingtons right?

Orpingtons lay tan eggs, Easter Eggers lay blue or light green eggs,
BCM lay dark chocolate brown eggs, and Welsummers lay medium brown eggs with speckles. Not sure of the other breeds.

I’d love to see what hatches from the lavender egg and 11 looks like an Olive Egger.

The brown eggs are really a toss up. I don't see any that look like BCM eggs, 7 may be a Welsummer egg. The others could belong to any breed. The blue ones are from the Easter Eggers, and 11 is an Olive Egger.

Good luck on your hatching!

For reference, these are eggs from my BCM, Buff Orpington, and Ameraucana.

I would cross BCM and Welsummer off the list because I don’t see any of those eggs there. I could be wrong but I’ve had quite a few BCMs and even the lightest eggs of theirs were darker than any of those
