TAJ Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 I go away for a week and come back to be told we have a blue egg , so my Cream Legbar has started laying at around 28 weeks. It is a small egg. I promise to take a picture and post it later. Tracy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space Chick Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Fab news, I'm so jealous I can't wait for my first blue egg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAJ Posted July 21, 2009 Author Share Posted July 21, 2009 Now I discover the chicken sitters also had 2 blue eggs whilst we were away, we had another 40g one yesterday, but a 62g blue one today AND a mini dark brown one - I assume this is the first from the Barnvelder so just the Dorking's white egg I am waiting for. I have taken the photos - I promise to go and upload them now. Tracy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-sarahjayne Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 lucky you! and what fine eggs they are :] I would love a blue egg layer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAJ Posted July 21, 2009 Author Share Posted July 21, 2009 I am very pleased - that is 5 blue eggs in her first week of laying, as a pure breed she will not carry on through the winter, but I can live with that. Although her mother was laying in Dec/Jan, so I might be lucky. Tracy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beach chick Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 WOW, those really ARE blue!! my aruacana's blue eggs are really pale in comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zmurffi Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 (edited) Lovely blue eggs. I really love your helter skelter egg holder in the photo's, can I ask where you got it. It looks like a great idea so you use older eggs us first. Sorry found the egg holder in Omlet shop - should have looked there first.

Lewis Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 I really love your helter skelter egg holder in the photo's, can I ask where you got it. It looks like a great idea so you use older eggs us first. Sorry found the egg holder in Omlet shop - should have looked there first. You can get them from the company too, Egg Skelter. Now, where is ANH with her picture? They really are blue eggs! The photos I took of the hatching eggs makes them look really pale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
