Redwing Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 My Amber Lee lays brown speckly eggs, they are very pretty I don't know if it is typical of the Amber Lee though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janty Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 My speckledy lays speckled eggs...seriously! My splash cochin also lays speckled eggs although my blue cochin doesn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janty Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Just noticed that you have cochins, Madbird. What colours are they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madbird Posted February 17, 2009 Author Share Posted February 17, 2009 Just noticed that you have cochins, Madbird. What colours are they? Hiya... Dusty is blue (although she has a fair bit of brown on her) and Floss is cream coloured with some pale gold lacing... so I would say non-standard colours, but very pretty Floss is really friendly and placid, but I am convinced Dusty is not a cochin sometimes, she is very flighty and not at all friendly! bless her. Neither have layed yet, so am waiting to see what colour eggs they produce. I love blue splash Cochins and they are definately on my 'to get' list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barkisland Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Molly, my Barnevelder, lays a dark brown speckled egg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..lay a little egg for me Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 I think it is a bit of luck as speckledy hens are supposed to lay speckled eggs but mine doesn't most of the time. One of my others also sometimes lays speckled eggs but I'm not sure who's responsible! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
