I am looking for a dark egg layer and think the bluebelles look gorgeous. what does the 'plum blush' actually look like? thanks....these chooks are soooo addictive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beach chick Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 um, well - kind of beige!!! I cant see any plum blush on my bluebell's eggs, but she's a very good layer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAJ Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Pale cream/brown - if you are looking for a dark egg layer a speckledy would do that - but personally I wouldn't swop my bella for the world. Tracy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daisymay Posted June 17, 2008 Author Share Posted June 17, 2008 thanks for your replies. the speckeldys i've got are laying massive almost white eggs!!! thought that was normal but obviously not! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Plum blush is a kind of deeper brown with a coating of white over it which gives it a pinky/plummy colour. You'll know it when you see it! This is one that my gingernut, Pom, laid as a one off - she's working her way through the colour spectrum at present It's first on the left in the ceramic egg tray.

Gallina Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 My Bluebelle lays eggs which I would describe as bog standard. I've never seen any plum blush. But I wouldn't send her back under the Trade Descriptions Act. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keanie Bean Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 My bluebelle lays normal beige colour eggs of average size. Shes my only chicken with feathers left at the moment too. Sarah.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules. Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Gertrude laid her first egg on Monday, it's quite a bit lighter than the gingernuts ones, & "matt" compared to the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carol U Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 My bluebelle's very first egg was plum blush, but ever since she has layed pale cream ones. My speckeldy lays bog standard brown. I don't think you can be too specific with hybrids! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
