At first glance, Rabanita looks no different from the other chickens in the yard.
"Since the December 5 she has been laying green eggs," said her owner, Elvira Romero.
Romero is a housewife who got the hen as part of a government aid package to help villagers.
"Well, my children say 'Oh Mummy, God looks favourably on you so that you were given as a prize a chicken that lays green eggs'," said Romero with a smile.
So far, there is no explanation for the colour of the eggs.
