Can anyone show me pics of your , , and eggs? ... And let me know what breed they come from, please?

I have a vacant eglu which I will fill with three newbies and I'm looking at Cream Legbars or Skyline for the green/blue and haven't a clue about the white egg layer........any suggestions? Oh, I'd also like a dark brown egg layer.

I have , (laying light brown eggs) and a Buff Sussex pullet (not yet crouching) in the cube, so I know I can put extras in there.

All pics welcome. Thanks

Here are mine . (I love an excuse to show off my eggs on an egg skelter ).

 

The green ones are from a Columbine, the pale ones from a Pied Suffolk and the mid brown ones from a Rhode Island Red.

Here are mine.

The light brown ones are from a Daisy Belle & an Amber Star. The white is a White star, the dark brown a Welsummer. the blue is from a Cream Legbar & the more greeny blue from a Columbine

I'm still awaiting my first blue egg from the Legbar, but we have a dark brown layer - she's a double-laced Barnevelder (absolutely beautiful-looking bird).

Cream Legbar or Araucana Pure breeds will give you blue, or blue/green eggs

 

Leghorn's should give white eggs

 

Marans will give chocolate brown eggs

 

 

Hope this helps?

Thank you everyone!

ANH, I love the egg skelter, which I am now going to order!

I viewed a range of hens yesterday and the lady wouldn't let me take them all home for some reason

I've put my name down for a Speckeldy (for dark brown eggs), a White Star (?) (for white eggs) and a Skyline (for hopefully blue/green eggs) All of which will be available on 20th Feb

Well, I think that's what I asked for, I was just soooo excited..........but me thinks I really should also have a Cream Legbar (for definitely blue eggs)......YES, that's what I want.

Sounds like a perfect choice of chickens and eggs

 

Once I have my walk in I'm thinking of expanding the flock a bit don't tell the hubby though

 

Good luck when you pick the girls up.

from Buff Mottled Leghorn

We are now awaiting either a or from our Cream Legbar (pictures of the girls are on my album link below)

I'm loving your very chickeny kitchen counter Ruth

Thanks, I have now tidied it up, as their stuff was taking over.

 

I didnt notice how messy it looked until i posted the picture

It's just Sods Law. Not all Columbines/Skylines will lay blue or green eggs. Some will still lay brown eggs, as my Columbine has recently proved to me

 

If it's very important that you get a blue or green egg go for a pure breed or you may be a little bit disappointed.

 

I still love Freya though
