salbo Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Hi, I have had 3 chickens for just under 3 weeks now and enjoying every moment of it! I have a RHODE ROCK, COTSWOLD LEGBAR & a WHITE STAR! since day one I have had 1 brown egg and since the end of the first week had 2 brown eggs a day, except yesterday when we had a brown egg and a bluey greenish egg! so my question is: is the LEGBAR laying brown and bluey green eggs or have i got a white star that lays brown eggs???? would be grateful of any ideas. I have seen the white star quite a few times in the nest box! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Oops, it does sound as though your whitestar is not such a pure whitestar after all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjp Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 the white star could be a Coral Nick they do look similar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salbo Posted April 22, 2010 Author Share Posted April 22, 2010 (edited) Today we had 3 eggs, 2 brown and one bluey green! So the supposedly WHITE STAR is a brown egg layer! Anyone know what kind of chicken she could be instead? Edited April 22, 2010 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know what kind of chicken it could be instead? if it looks like a white star then it could be a coral nick but a photo would help to ID it there's one on this page :- viewtopic.php?p=352916 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salbo Posted April 22, 2010 Author Share Posted April 22, 2010 I hope this helps: DO YOU THINK SHE COULD BE AN AMBER? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

figarogir1 Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 She does look like my Amber but Im not an expert. My Amber lays brown eggs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salbo Posted April 27, 2010 Author Share Posted April 27, 2010 Hi, I have re named her AMBER! didn't have any White Stars left at Newland Poultry, so bought a CORAL who is so lovely! she should lay cream eggs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Corals lay a very pale cream egg and have the slightly lighter build than the Amber. That does look like an Amber to me, much more placid and friendly than a whitestar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
