Sorry if this is dumb but I'm wondering if any educated chicken folks can tell me more about what breed my mutt chickens/Easter eggers are because when they were given to us we were only told they were Easter eggers.
Also I was wondering if anyone could take an educated guess at who lays what.
Here's my ladies:
1. Checkers (black)

2. Rotisserie (the orange one)
3. Rita (the dark grey one)

4. Big Grey / Pookie (light grey)

5. Lorax (orange and grey)

6. Chickpea (grey with orange mane)

And the eggs go as follows (can ask for pictures if necessary)
A. Bronze with small dark specs
B. Olive-ish eggs
C. Light Bluish green eggs
D. Green eggs with brown spots
E. Peach colored eggs
F. Off-white eggs
G. Plain brown eggs

There's no right or wrong awnser, I'm just curious! 🐓
 
Rotisserie, Lorax, and Chickpea appear to be Easter/Olive eggers.
Checkers appears to have feathered legs? If so maybe some type of marans.?
I'm not sure on Rita or Big Grey / Pookie.

Hopefully some others with more breed knowledge will chime in!

That's a trick question . . . there are 6 chickens and 7 egg colors, lol.
 
Checkers is probably an olive egger, they often use marans (feathered legs) to get them. If Rita has feathers on her legs she's probably an olive egger too (hard to tell from picture). I have two olive eggers, one is black and one is blue pretty similar to yours. So that's probably where the olive and green with brown spots eggs are coming from.
