Who Laid Her First Egg???

[madelynfayeh]

I have two chickens, pictured below, and I found a cream colored egg for the first time today! I thought the black one was a black copper maran and would lay darker eggs. But for my other chicken, does anyone know what breed she is? I think it came from her?

Who has the reddest comb?
Unless you have breeder quality marans, they may not lay dark eggs.

interesting! the black chicken barely has a comb at all still, i would say the red/brown one does! i was thinking brown leghorn based on google pictures but arent they supposed to lay white eggs?

The brown one is an olive egger.

It's not a leghorn, it may be an ee that lays brown. You'll figure it out soon as to who laid this. You can check their vents, wide and pink lays.

My cuckoo lays a slightly darker egg from my RiR and cinnamon queen. But it’s the XL shiny egg. Mine came from a local hatchery.

Wonder if she might have some welsummer in her.

The one that has white earlobes probably laid that pale egg and possibly is an Andalusian.
