Treekeeper Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Which type of chicken lay the best blue or green eggs?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little chickadee Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 From what I have heard, a Cream Legbar or an Aruacuana seem to be the best bets (both pure breeds) You can also get a hybrid which has lots of different names (Jasmine, Skyline, Columbine etc.) but they are not guaranteed to be blue or green. I think some of the eggs can be white and the pictures I have seen on here seem to be kind of an olive/ camo green. I know some people have ones which lay blue eggs though. I'm hopefully getting a Cream Legbar later in the year as I really love the idea of blue eggs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jules. Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 I've ordered a cream legbar for May Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubereglu Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Well I wish I could comment, but I don't know what colour eggs my cream legbar lays as she's only 27 weeks and hasn't started laying yet. She's ever so docile and gorgeous though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJuff Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 I was sooooo impatient I went to Paula's Poultry up in Jedburgh on Saturday and collected two beautiful heritage Skylines. One of them layed a blue egg in the box on the way home. I'm delighted. The other newbie is crouching so I'm waiting . . . not too long I hope. They are so friendly already, definately my favourites aleady!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
