What ARE these eggs?

Here's another look at what the eggs I've got in the incubator are a cross of. Remember that I do not have batteries for my camera yet still, but here's pics from December.

Most of the eggs will be a cross of our roo, Marc Antony, and our Silver Laced Wyandottes. The eggs that the new chicks will lay should be green.





And, of course, a couple are pure New Hampshire Red, Easter Egger, and one is a Brahma / Easter Egger. The only Brahma cross's mom, though, looks like this:



This is Raven, one of my three Light Brahmas. She doesn't really look like one, though, except for her color - But looking past her single comb and very erect tail - She still has the personality, eggs, and feathered feet of one. This is simply hatchery-quality breeding.

Our New Hampshire Reds are an improvement of the Rhode Island Red, and are a bright orange in color. They're a simple looking chicken - No beard, no feathered feet, and wonderful, friendly personality. Here's a pullet named Mahogany.
