michele Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 I am getting a Columbine hen and they say that there is an 80% chance of a hen which lays a blue egg otherwise they will be tinted. What do they mean by tinted ? What colour eggs do your columbines lay ? Thanks Michele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluckbok Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Ours lays pure white. We don't mind though cause she's our friendlist and funniest and we love her! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moochoo Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 I have 2 Columbines and they both lay green eggs. I scrutinised their earlobes when I bought mine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJuff Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 I have three columbines, two lay blue so I voted blue but the other lays green. They are the most unfriendly hens out of my chooks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Webmuppet Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Mine lays bluey green eggs sort of pale duck egg colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omletina Kyckling Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 I have two, one lays blue and one lays green, so not sure what to vote! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 My columbine lays blue, but I have another type of blue egg hybrid who lays pink eggs. They are very pretty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Maisie lays green eggs and is my friendliest, cheekiest chicken . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moochoo Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 I was looking for a blue/ green tint to the earlobes. Apparently you're more likely to get a blue/green layer if that pigment is present in their earlobes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Maisie certainly has a bluey-green tint to hers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsallen08 Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 One of my marans has greeny earlobes? I thought they were to lay dark brown eggs? Definately greeny earlobes though! ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 I suppose the coloured earlobes only indicate the colour of egg in those particular breeds which lay blue/green eggs . Don't know what the point of them is for other breeds - purely decorative, presumably . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superjules Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 I have two, one lays blue and one lays green, so not sure what to vote! Snap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ange1 Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Mine lays a very pale cream almost white egg. Can I see a photo of these green/blue earlobes please?! I think Carmen's are white-ish! I'd be interested to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 My 2 new girls,Dandelion & little weed, are too smallto lay yet,but neither have green ears I do hope this too comes with age - I will be everso unlucky to have 2 Columbines who don't lay a green or blue egg!

Ange1 Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Arr yes I can see what you mean! Thanks for that. Carmen's are definately more white coloured. I'll know next time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michele Posted December 26, 2008 Author Share Posted December 26, 2008 My columbine (which I got in September) came into lay on 13th December and has been laying beautiful green eggs since then. Her third egg was an ENORMOUS double yolker and weighed about 3 1/2 ounces. I am delighted with her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
