What breed is this hen? Owner listed her as a Starlight Green Egger but she lays pink eggs

[taylorhlora]

Bought her off Craigslist. Owner said she is a Starlight Green Egger and clarified she lays pink eggs though, not green. She's very friendly with people and gentle with other chickens. She's about the same size as our Lavender Orpington, just less "fluffy."

A Easter Egger

She’s probably still a starlight green egger. Hoover’s description mentions a 5% chance of laying brown eggs. I don’t have experience with this hybrid though, just what I’ve seen online

She's *technically* an EE. I just don't like to use that term for birds that don't lay colored eggs. So a better word for her would be mix breed

You can see she’s part legbar. She should lay green but for some reason doesn’t. I agree she is a SGE. Hoover’s has had some interesting Easter Egger mixes recently.

Thanks! I was thinking she looked like a Welsummer possibly but when I saw her egg this morning realized probably not.

Thanks! I'm thinking the owner didn't get her directly from a hatchery, he had roosters so she probably is a mix that he hatched.

I've had some trouble with the starlight green egger as well as the red star chicken, just I thought mine was a red star. red stars can look just like starlight green eggers but they lay brown- tan/cream eggs.

That's not a starlight green egger. Looks like a cream legbar cross. The brown egg may mean the Legbar was one of the grandparents rather than one of the parents.

I have two starlight green eggers that look similar to her and the eggs are also the pinkish brown rather than green. I think that 5% is a low estimate considering both the green eggers we have lay eggs that are far from green.
