Poached Egg Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 ... or another excuse for photos We recently got a Skyline who will hopefully start to lay in the next few weeks (and fingers crossed they will be blue/greenish although I am starting to think not). As ear colour is meant to be an indication of egg colour I wondered if anyone on here with a Skyline/Jasmine/Colombine would mind uploading a photo showing ear colouration and advising what egg colour is being laid. Many thanks Denise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olly Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 I've got a Heritage Skyline ... but no eggs yet, so I can't help you! I do so hope they are going to be blue-green ... but anything other than brown would be nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poached Egg Posted March 11, 2010 Author Share Posted March 11, 2010 Thanks Cyclone is lovely and fab egg collection! Skye's ears seem to be a different colour on each side. One side seems a bit blue the other more cream/pink, but she is quite young still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooks Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 my Flo lays off white colour eggs not quite cream but not quite white either. I have no up close shot of her ears I can find, and shes not the most obliging hen in the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poached Egg Posted March 12, 2010 Author Share Posted March 12, 2010 Thanks everyone! Interesting to see the ear and egg colour variation and that there is still some hope for blue/greenish eggs We are also probably a bit further away from eggs than originally thought going by Skye's teeny weeny, pale comb - apx 1/4 the size of BarbaraJ's olive green layer Cookie - Skye is quite ear pic shy as well Olly - did I see on another thread that you got some of your chooks from Hen House Poultry as well?
