Hey chicken people!
So I have a bit of a mystery going on here with my flock. A little backstory: I have an older Easter egger (a little over a year old) who's been laying pretty well. I bought a batch of mixed breed chicks this spring and I got another colored egger (I think she's a bit of a hybrid because she doesn't quite look like any colored eggers I've seen... Almost like the feather colors and pattern of an easter egger, but really slim and sleek). As well as the hybrid egger, I got a couple of what I think are golden comets and maybe a Rhode island red. But where the mystery comes in is now that they're laying... Not only am I getting my Easter egger egg every day, but now I'm getting not just one more tiny colored egg, but often 2 or 3 more! And they all seem to be slightly different shades of pale greenish blue. I guess my question is this: is it normal for a newly laying colored egger to lay multiple eggs in a day or is there such a thing as a chicken breed that looks like a golden comet or similar that lays colored eggs? 😅
 
Do you ahve pictures of the ones you think are Comet or Red? I'm just curious now what they look like.

I don't know much, I just know all my easter eggers which came from the same hatery on the same day..... now all look so very different. 😂 NONE are the same size or shape or color XD. The only thing mine have in common is their legs are all a blue/green tint.
 
I have two Eggers that look exactly like Brown Leghorns except .. I couldn't tell you what color their legs are, I never paid any attention. I'll pay attention tomorrow and report back maybe.
Yeah i woudl be curious if it's the hatchery specific or not! I got mine from Meyer.

I only really noticed mine, because I got 1 "meal maker" chick, and IDK what breed it is. So trying to kinda figure that out, I noticed the legs. One of my girls legs are VERY blue though so IDK how I didn't notice IMMEDIATELY (but I didn't). 😂 The others are more a dark/grey color with a tint of blue/green. I'd have worried if only 1 was that color though, cause I wasn't really certain something wasn't wrong with all of them for awhile 😭

Below is a picture kinda like the one hen of mine. i can get some pictures of mine tomorrow.
