Black chicken lays green egg

[IRS]

So Willow just laid her
First egg and it's green! Find this funny because she's a black chicken that came out of a white egg and is now laying green ones someone told me from one of my other posts that she could be a barnyard cross breed and that could explain why she's laying green eggs but could someone tell me what chicken is supposed to lay green eggs?

She must be an Easter Egger, which is a fancy name for chickens that lays or carries the genes for colored eggs. Dad could have been the one to give her the colored egg gene if mom was laying white eggs.

Easter eggers can lay green eggs.

This was my black easter egger that laid green eggs, and she was having a variety of grains and baby octopus:

My Easter Egger just laid her first egg and it is a similar color. So pretty.
