Can people tell me which chickens lay the lovely blue eggs? Also can you get a green egg?! Is there a hybrid that lays blue eggs?

 

Thanks

[BeckyBoo]

hybrids don't lay coloured eggs as far as I'm aware. Auracaunas lay green (I think) and cream legbars lay blue, but I think it's only an 80%chance - I've got a cream legbar and she lays pale blue eggs, if they don't I think they're white.

I'm sure someone more certain will be along shortly!!

I have a Cream Legbar from The Wernlas Collection that lays lovely sky blue eggs

you can get Hybrids that lay green/blue eggs they are called Skylines or Columbines (same bird different breeders name) but there is only about an 80% chance of a coloured egg, the remaining 20% lay a creamish egg normally (like mine did)

Or Cotswold Legbars|!|

 

Or Jasmine/Skyline/Columbine (same chicken from different breeders - I think it's based on CLB???).

Cream Legbars are a pure breed and should lay blue or green eggs

 

Araucanas are also a pure breed and should lay blue or green eggs

 

There is a type of hybrid that has an 80% chance of laying a blue/green egg the other 20% laying white/pinky coloured ones. This breed is called a Skyline/Columbine.

JINX!

my Jasmines lays but it is only 80% chance and I was lucky

thats the reason I have just got a cream legbar! my skyline was determined to be awkward and lay cream eggs.

my pure breed cream legbar Abby lays beautiful blue eggs every day!! my 8 yr old daughter did not like egg until the blue ones came!!!!

[Space Chick]

I have a CLB and a Wernlas Olive and am now getting Columbines as I missed the blue/green eggs during winter. for the 80%

[abwsco]

I've two welsummer x CLB who lay lovely green eggs I've also got a CLB who lays blue eggs but I think she's decided to stop altogether as we've not had any off her since last September.

When Cookie Monster mentioned cream eggs I thought she meant Cadbury's Cream Eggs!!

there's also a Fenton blue hybrid which lays a blue egg

[sparkysmum]

Our lavender araucana lays the most beautiful Blue all the way thro' about 4 x week. Ax

Proper pure breed Araucanas should lay a true blue egg, Proper Cream Legbars should lay a sky to pale blue egg

 

Thats birds from a decent strain

 

Impure ones will lay green eggs

[AmberSky]

I have 2 cream legbars both with different colouring and one lays blue eggs and one lays a dark olive green colour egg!

My skyline lays blue eggs - as said above, they could have been anything from green through to coral apparently. The last couple were a bit pooey, so I cleaned them and they go a sort of khaki colour when wet!

 

 

They actually look a bit paler than they're showing in this photo. I was so thrilled to get an egg that wasn't brown, though! (Shallow, me? never! )

It is all about the purity of the stock Cream Legbars should be laying blue eggs 100% - anything else and they are not a true 100% pure breed. The different named hybrids have a 70-80% chance of laying a blue/green egg.

 

The key thing for me is that unlike brown egg layers the hybrid blue egg layers do not have a vast difference in egg production - most blue hybrid layers are only quoted at about 40 eggs more per year than the pure breeds and you risk getting one that doesn't lay blue eggs - in brown egg layer breeds the hybrid could be 100 more eggs per year, so if egg production is key you might select a hybrid, if egg colour is key then get a pure breed.
