I am wondering what breed my hen might be. She was sold to me as a Blue Laced Wyandotte. She lays dark gray eggs/ greenish gray eggs.

I bought a Blue Laced Wyandotte About a year ago, and she’s laying gray, to dark green-gray eggs. She’s beautiful, sweet, and lays close to daily. I’m still not sure that she’s a Wyandotte….
Her (Violet) egg is at the top left, and it’s an unusual color of gray. She’s a lovely hen, so I’m fine with her as is, I wouldn’t change a thing. I do have a whiting true blue rooster, and I am wondering what the two would produce together

That doesn't look like a wyandotte. It's an EE

Looks like an Easter Egger to me.

The colour of the egg upper right is interesting, who laid it?

Now that you say that, I’m thinking it might be too. Sometimes the eggs have a dark gray color that almost have a green cast..sometimes a blue cast. I didn’t know EE had gray eggs. I thought that typically they were blue, green or pinkish, but there are oddities in every mixture breed, it seems

She might be a subset of Easter Eggers called Olive Eggers. Sometimes Marans/Ameracauna crosses bred back to Marans will lay a gray egg. It has something to do with a heavy bloom. Check out The Olive Egg on Instagram, she’s posted photos of some gray eggs her hens have laid.

Beautiful eggs @Alyssaclaiber
She is a very pretty hen, too.

She looks a like my British/Australian Araucana cross. I don't have very many good photos of her, because we sold her a year or 2 ago.

thank you for that info! It’s all extremely interesting. I just looked up “gray Easter Egger” and the image they showed looked just like her, and it was an Olive Egger. I’m going to check out The Olive Egg right now! Thanks!
