Snowy Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Congratulations! Blue eggs are lovely aren't they! All three of my blue egg layers are in production now - Ruby and Bambi lay lovely blue and blue/green eggs. Rosie lays ...... a beige egg Not even a pastel egg, it's a bog standard, brown egg. From the chicken with more face furniture than Father Christmas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted November 22, 2007 Author Share Posted November 22, 2007 I did wonder if Clover was laying beige eggs too, as when we got them home from the farm she was sitting on a beige egg. Of my 4 new hens,I have Clover laying blue (not sure how old she is.but she squatted today for the first time too), Bramble should lay dark brown & Fern & Bracken beige. I know 2 more are laying,& I am getting a nice speckly beige & a smooth beige from them, but I am not certain its the 2 that should be laying beige eggs,as I have yet to catch them in the act. Confusing,isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 What a gorgeous egg A Cream Legbar might be next on my wish list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 I hate not knowing who's laid what I was getting really confused with all the beige eggs that were appearing and have spent the last 2 days virtually watching over them as they lay! At least I know now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Aren't they just the best? I still wonder at them and Dolly's been with us for 2 years now. Special fairy eggs! I think that the yolks are richer tasting, but that might just be me being fanciful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Lovely Cinnamon I would love some blue eggs They are so lovely, I don't know whether I could use them though. I would hate to spoil them Will have to wait a while now though I think we have enough girls at the moment and introductions are not my favourite thing Our girls get on quite well now so don't want to rock the boat again for a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen & co. Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 How exciting my blue egg layers still don't get the point of being chickens yet karen x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellekatz Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 I love Blue eggs - Yes I think they taste different too Shame we haven't had one for a while as Ellie is on a quick/slow moult. ( quick to loose the feathers, slow to get them back and start laying again ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJuff Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 I wish for blue eggs! How exciting for you. I've about given up on my two columbines. I'm convinced it will be next spring before I see any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
