AJuff Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 http://www.glencroftpoultry.co.uk/COLUMBINE%20EGGS.JPG My columbine laid the pale brown egg today? The only other hen with her is the speckeldy and I expected a darker speckled egg! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJuff Posted May 8, 2010 Author Share Posted May 8, 2010 I feel gutted! My columbine lays an ordinary brown egg just the same as my Sussex girls. 80% blue/green 20% cream or pastel coloured they say. Is brown a pastel colour? I feel mis-sold. The breeder has offered to exchange her but I would feel to bad about this and it would upset the pecking order. Also she is in school at the moment and its would be difficult to explain to the children. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
