Farm girl in the city.
We have a brown leghorn, Bucket, who is 18 weeks, and has been laying small green eggs for a week and a half now. Of our 6 hens, she has been one of the first two to come into lay, and at first we thought the eggs were just freak "getting started" eggs. But now we have a bunch of them, and confirmed sightings of her laying them! Below is a picture of the week's first eggs (the one in the foreground is a grocery store egg for scale.) They're all sort of "fairy sized" and the light brown ones are coming from our Buff Sussex Andie. Picture below was total "take" from two days ago; today Bucket laid another olive egg for a total of seven.
Bucket, the brown leghorn, has white earlobes and a single comb, wattles and yellow skin and shanks of her breed. We got her from a local hatchery whose owner is kind of flaky and who may not be precise about his breedings. What do you think? Do we have an olive egger masquerading as a leghorn?
(I would be delighted if we did!)
