I already want two more - recommendations welcome

Recommended Posts

I could extend the run a bit and I thought that two more hens would double the joy and entertainment that Hilda and Evadne provide.

 

I'd like a hybrid that lays dark brown eggs and another that lays blue or green eggs (or one that lays white eggs), every day if possible. I might call them Miss Mapp and Lucia. ':)'

 

Which breeds would the panel recommend, please?

A columbine/skyline/jasmine has an 80% chance of laying a blue/green egg. The other 20% lay a range of pastel colours apparently. Maran cuivre lay quite dark eggs I believe.

 

I had the same issue a couple of weeks ago, I was going to get a skyline and a maran cuivre for the different eggs, but decided to go for 2 skylines, so now I'll have to be really unlucky not to get some coloured eggs.
