What breed is this pullet?

[mamabear2005]

she was bought along with a couple of brahmas..I thought she was going to be a light brahma and she very obviously is not! I think her eggs may be light green (these are our first 5 eggs

), not sure yet who's they were but she is the most likely culprit (other hens are australorp x welsummers and a lavender orpington)

She's a clean-faced Easter Egger. I have a couple gold ones that are clean faced (no muffs or beard).

Aren't EE's supposed to have slate/green legs? I have 5 and all are greenish legs.

They usually have greenish legs, but they can honestly have any color, since they aren't a standard breed. Easter Egger really just means any bird carrying the blue egg gene.

So essentially she is a mutt with a light green egg gene? will she always lay this color eggs or can they vary?

Egg color remains consistent throughout a hen's life though sometimes you may see some slight variation (i.e. speckles).

There is no green egg gene. She has a blue shell gene and a gene for brown coating, this green eggs.

There are only two egg shell colors, blue and white.

A brown egg is a white egg with a brown coating.
