hi guys! i just got 3 little hens. 2 are grey and one is barred with yellow feet but has the Easter Egger tufts of feathers. cute! sorry no pictures. :( but the lady i got them from said they are americaunas X silkie mix. i was curious as to what color egg they may lay? she says they're 8 months old but she didn't think they were laying yet. i've only had them for a couple days now and so far no eggs. but they could be stressed too. she had tons of chickens....so maybe she couldn't tell if they had already layed? i figure by 8 months they would be laying. i can tell the roosters had been on the 2 grey ones by the way their back feathers look. so if they're already breeding, would that mean they are already laying?

they will be light green, as silkies lay cream colored eggs(not white)
