joybelle Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 When my WIR is finished I want to get a couple of these. I know you can get the pure breeds but wonder if there are hybrids that lay these as I dont want to get eggs just in the summer. thanks joy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom123 Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 You can buy hybrids that lay BUT it is only a 70-80% chance they will lay these, the others will lay pastel shades. Here are all the breeds that lay hybrids & pure breeds... Araucana PURE BREED - Defiantly Cream Legbar PURE BREED - Defiantly Skyline/Columbine/legbar HYBRID - 75% lay others will lay To be honest I would choose 2-3 Cream legbars for the then get maybe a few white star hybrids for LOTS of all year round ???? Good Luck! Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joybelle Posted March 22, 2009 Author Share Posted March 22, 2009 thanks for that tom looks like it will have to be cream legbars then. I had thought about getting a white star or two but I`ve been told they can be a bit noisy and my other hens are very quiet. dont want to upset the neighbors joy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mostin Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 My Coton Blues from Glencroft poultry are hybrids and both lay green eggs. They have lovely temperements too This is a picture of Leala, she's such a floozy . Here are the 1st 2 eggs she layed, they are even greener now .

Cooks Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 she has mad hair as well! I love chooks with mad hairdo's! lovely colour eggs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mostin Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 She does yes , A reminder of her Araucana heritage. I love my punk rocker chickens. I got my first taste of the "generation gap" on Sunday when showing my little niece Leala and I said "look at her little punk rocker hair-do" and my niece said "What's a punk rocker?"

brambles Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 I have a skyline hybrid like the ones on tom's 3rd photo. Waiting for her to start laying - her comb's growing. I'll let you know what colour! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 My Fenton Blues are hybrids and lay a mixture of green and blue eggs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
