Falkor Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Hi all, My Cream Legbar has come into lay and I have been getting green eggs.....I have taken them round to the neighbours and we all agree that they are green. BUT aren`t CLB's meant to lay BLUE eggs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Maisie's a Cream Legbar hybrid (Columbine). She lays green eggs (or used to ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 I think some strains are impure so lay green eggs, the same goes for Araucanas - some of my Aras hatched from green eggs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjp Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 (edited) from what I've read elsewere some breeders cross a brown egg layer poss. a RIR to get better egg numbers and size hence green eggs pure CLB's are supossed to lay blue eggs I just hope my Rusty is a blue egg layer at least a 3 week wait to find out Edited September 29, 2009 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falkor Posted September 30, 2009 Author Share Posted September 30, 2009 My Cream Legbar Leela lays pretty little sky blue eggs In fact, she's in laying one right now (and taking her time about it ) Save one for Saturday please Debs! I will bring one of Saffy's and we can compare! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Good thinking Em, will do, you can also compare to one of Romanas Green eggs (providing she lays one before Sat as I haven't got one on my egg skelter at the moment) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rufusrooster Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Our Columbine started laying eggs that where more green than blue, they then changed to more blue than green, theyve now gone back to more green than blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alet_chicken Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 We have two cream legbars, and their eggs are two distinctly different shades of sky blue (Madge's is a lot lighter - guess she likes to skimp on the blue paint.) Very handy because we can tell them apart! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

puddleduck Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 my columbine has just started laying, 1st few eggs looked blue, now not so blue more green!!! I am not sure she knows which colour she prefers. I don't mind they are so lovely whichever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
