Welsummer or Olive Egger?

Is the one that is laying an Olive Egger that looks like the pic you posted, or something else?

No, she's a Blue Australorp laying beautiful dark brown eggs. My others are Barred Rock, EEs, and an Ancona.

I have an OE that looks very much like yours, she’s about 3 years old now, lays a green egg that is sometimes on the blueish side. Coincidentally I got her from Meyer Hatchery, not the same Meyer as you, but they sure look similar!

Ok thanks... so weird. I have 11 pullets that are all 24 weeks and only 1 is laying. I think they enjoy torturing me.

There was not a date on that picture. Actually, it is a screenshot from a video I had made. I knew I had posted it on BYC before. I checked and I posted in June 2023. They were hatched on Dec. 13th 2022. So, yes, that would be around 24 weeks old. I really thought she was beautiful posed like that.

I had 5 of them, but I gave 3 of them to a little girl down the road after they started laying. I still have 2 of them. They are very good layers. The eggs are not real big, medium size I would say.

Ah ha! This is what I've been searching everywhere for! Thank you! Yes, I believe my girls look just like yours except their combs haven't matured fully yet. Thank you! Does her eggs have speckles?

Glad I could help!! No speckles, but she throws a heavy bloom every once in a while that gives the egg a gray, cement like color. Love it when she lays those! Fingers crossed your girls gives you some speckles!!!

Here's updated photos. Hoping to get an egg soon to confirm breed!

UPDATE: Mystery solved. They're Welsummers (just not SOP).
