I thought she was a Welsummer

But not anymore.
Today I was outside in the coop, and my hen here



Got in the nest. She's from Atwood's - I know their breeds aren't 100% breeding standards, and she was in the Welsummer bin. I waited to see which of the dark brown eggs I've been getting is from here and lo and behold



Definitely not dark brown. Is she just an Easter Egger?? I know they've been making "designer" EE but dang! I didn't see it coming.

Hmmm similar to a lakeshore egger?

Looks like an olive egger. Maybe Barnevelder for the brown egg side, looks like their patterning! I would guess Legbar for the blue egg side. Looks like a tiny bit of feather floof through her comb. She’s a cutie! And it’s a lovely egg.

Olive Egger, or it could be a mix of Brown Leghorn/Welsummer and Easter Egger!

She’s some sort of Easter egger, most likely a starlight green egger:

She doesn’t have a crest, and I’ve never heard of hatcheries using barnevelders for OEs

Look at her earwattles also, they are light colored, not red.

Ideal specifically mentions Barnevelders as one of the breeds they mix for their olive eggers. My Olive Egger rooster from Meyer has a mini-crest, assumingly because Legbar was used in his mix. We had a Hoovers olive Egger last year, who looked like a frost white legbar with a big crest and laid a green egg.

This is what makes me think legbar:


Mini-crest on my roo:

I definitely see the crest on your rooster, but the hen doesn’t look crested to me.

Starlight Green Egger makes a lot of sense. Thank you!
