chicken bark Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 (edited) I'm so pleased. Tonight when I shut my girls in for the night I found a perfect 54g blue egg. I got my CLBs from Raw Green Cottages in June - they were 5 weeks old. They look beautiful and now have given me a lovely blue egg in the nesting box so no messing about. I thanked them even more than usual for the eggs tonight. Edited January 20, 2011 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space Chick Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Fabulous My CLB came back into lay after her winter break last week, it was great to have a blue egg again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saronne Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Hey! It must be the week for Legbars to come back into lay...Elvis 1 and 2 both presented me with a bluey!! Saronne x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicken bark Posted January 20, 2011 Author Share Posted January 20, 2011 Here's a couple of photos. The likely culprits - sorry it is a photo more of their bottoms. and one of the egg in the skelter - I think it looks bluer in real life than on the photo. No idea whether I have 'good' examples of CLBs but I think they are lovely and have seen one heading into the hen house today so maybe I will have another blue egg later.

beckyfitz Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Ah, how exciting! They look so beautiful too. I'm very tempted by these lovely blue-egg-laying chooks... Becky x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jill the potter Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Ooo I'm really Thought I might get blue eggs from Barbara as she is a CLB cross - sadly they are cream - but taste delicious none the less!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chicken bark Posted January 30, 2011 Author Share Posted January 30, 2011 How are you going to cook them! Poached is my favourite - best way to see those lovely yolks. My OH cooked me some scrambled eggs the other day and it was only after I'd eaten it he said he'd used the first duck egg too. Yum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
