Jaime Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 I'd love to have a Blue hen. I beleive that the Meadowsweet Bluebelle is based on a Marans - does anyone have one and do they lay chocolate coloured eggs? Does any one know where I could get one pure Copper Blue Marans close to Manchester/Stockport prefereably at POL I know somebody on the forums can point me in the right direction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Email barbara@omlet.co.uk for a list of local suppliers. Alterntively look in the back of Practical Poultry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tina C Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 I have a Bluebelle (from Omlet) and she lays pale pinkish eggs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 I have 3 Bluebelles, but they lay light to mid-brown eggs. But they are gorgeous big, bonnie, buxom, beautiful girls - they are just the most fantastic chooks to have - friendly and placid - you have to get one!!!!!!!

Jaime Posted March 14, 2007 Author Share Posted March 14, 2007 I think I've decided - it will be a new Bluebelle at weekend Now got to decide on the name... "(Dr.) Evadne" I think from Hinge and Bracket I know Phil Melland at Leek has a new delivery of meadowsweet chooks on Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubereglu Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 That's great news. Bluebelles are lovely!!! Mine lay really well and much better than our Black Rock. They're also more friendly and lay lightish brown eggs, most of the time speckled. It's funny though as Starlet eats little bits of gravel out the plant pots and she has 3D bumps on the tops of her eggs!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
