fluffy chick Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 This has me baffled, I've had silkies and as far as I know they only lay creamy coloured eggs. There is someone on ebay selling silkie hatching eggs and describing them as blue egg layers. Has anyone heard of this before?! Maybe someone has done some clever breeding ....Sounds too good to be true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloss-Hen Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 now that would be nice but personally i think theyve got there chooks mixed up, still its easily done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 no colour of Silkie lays a blue egg sadly crossing a Silkie with an Araucana would possibly result in a green egg laying bantam but it would of course be a cross breed and its feathers wouldnt be the same as a Silkies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluffy chick Posted March 10, 2012 Author Share Posted March 10, 2012 Hmm that's what I thought. It doesn't seem to be a mistake though, they've put it in twice. Maybe it's a mistake and I'm being unfair but I think it's a bit naughty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Do you have a link? - any photos on there? I'd maybe send them a message for clarification Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 There is someone on ebay who has crossed an Araucana with a SIlkie and is selling eggs - I'm guessing its that person No pure bred Silkie lays blue eggs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
