catherinedon Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 can I just ask when people say blue and green eggs how colourful they actually are. My araucane lays an egg that has a definate blue hue to it but can you get a very blue or green egg like the colours here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
green Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 I've only seen pictures of coloured eggs, but they seem to have a green or blue hue as you said, rather than be a very bright colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjp Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Rusty my cream legbar lays a pale pastel blue egg which unlike my brown egg layers did change colour or shade all year even my gold legbar's white eggs changed shade as the year went on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckmum6 Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 My Arucana laid very green eggs, our Legbar's eggs are a light to mid green/blue colour. They both are definitely coloured not just a light tint. I think it can depend on the parentage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkysmum Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 My araucana's eggs (when she bothers to lay) are a very blue, blue. Sadly she was broody for much of last year & then had a long slow moult so we actually had very few eggs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
