Cooks Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Flo's ear lobes are definately green They will match Norman, how clever of her! This is if they dont change colour and prove me a liar.. I have waited and waited (well two weeks!) for them to develop a colour and now finally they have, even DS1 has said wow green! edited to add, I did always feel they had a green 'tinge', but these are clearly green now.

Cooks Posted March 1, 2009 Author Share Posted March 1, 2009 I will go loopy when I finally get an egg from her, this is just the ear lobe colour and I am hopping with excitement. and on the subject of eggs, Dory is making practice runs to the nestbox. and crouching for the older girls, although not me it seems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickvic Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 How exciting - have you got a pic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted March 1, 2009 Author Share Posted March 1, 2009 no I wish I did have!, I will try tomorrow, although as stated before I am rubbish at taking photos.. She's my little skitty darling, so doesn't like being picked up much (yet) , but when she's held she makes little cooing noises. Looking at her comb I think I will be waiting for my egg a while though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackgold Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Is it just skylines that lay green eggs? I would like a green egg layer and a blue... Love Sue xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted March 1, 2009 Author Share Posted March 1, 2009 With Skylines/Columbines (same bird just different breeder names) you have a 70/80% chance of them laying a green or a blue egg, in my case it looks like they will be green, others on here have blue Araucanas (pure breed, not hybrid) lay blue eggs Others will come along and add more, as I am only a year into keeping chickens myself and still learning every day.

Plum Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 How very classy a hen with green ears to match Norman and lays green eggs. Keep an eye out for a hen with lilac ears to lay lilac eggs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted March 1, 2009 Author Share Posted March 1, 2009 you say that!, but the man I got her from said the eggs could be lilac/pinky pastel shades if they are not green or blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mutrix Farmers Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Green eggs, how wonderful. I was really excited yesterday to get my new Coral Nick home to see her ear lobes are white. I long for green and blue though, just need to identify the breeds and find a supplier. Don't forget to post a photo when Flo lays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted March 1, 2009 Author Share Posted March 1, 2009 my coral has white earlobes as well but lays cream eggs, they do not lay white eggs as far as I know. But the cream eggs are porcelain like cream, they are beautifull! edited to add I just looked at your egg picture and yours are the same colour as mine, but I class that as cream, as my brother has a white egg layer and his are stark white so I didn't feel able to say mine were white you can be sure of a photo when she decides to get her laying gear into action.

Mutrix Farmers Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 I agree it is a creamy white, if I compare it with a sheet of paper (I'm not lucky enough to have seen a pure white egg). OH is excited that at least he will be able to identify one egg, he can't tell the others apart!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
