Eyren Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Araucanas are the original blue-egg breed, and they were used to create the original legbar hybrids here in Cambridge: http://www.clarencecourt.co.uk/legbar.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little chickadee Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 I'm going to be getting a Cream Legbar sometime this Summer because I want blue eggs! Aracuana's do too, some Cotswold Legbars do ( a variety of pastel eggs from them) and some Skylines/Columbines/Jasmines (all the same bird) but not all. There are also some blue egg laying bantams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why's that Aunty e? I have a legbar but always wanted an araucana..... She was beautiful and had a brilliant personality - up for a cuddle, and so funny, would perch on my wrist and attack pigeons. Here is a picture of lovely Purdy and my old eglu (which I secretly miss ) Rather sadly, all the chooks in this picture are dead. Pretty Penny, Bob, Dolly and Purdy.

At least you're in the right part of the world for poultry - a lot of the ads I see online are for people based around Diss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 I had a pure araucana - she was lovely and I'd love another. I now have two araucana hybrids (one lays greeny blue eggs the other lays beige ) and a legbar hybrid that lays blue eggs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatsCube Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Bronze when I was at the hen house the other week picking up my black araucana he still had 2 blue bantam arucanas. If your Diss then he is just round the corner from you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your Diss then he is just round the corner from you. Sadly Diss is at the other end of the county and I don't drive. I don't think I can convince dh at the moment that its that important so he must drive me there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
