Our Salmon Faverolle just died and I'm sooo sad because she laid the most beautiful pink eggs. Check out Barred Plymouth Rock as well.I have seen a couple pictures posted here with pink eggs and was hoping it was as easy as get an easter egger! I guess the rarity of them makes them that much more desireableOhh boy this will probably be a long (and fun) road to find myself a pink egg layer. Thank you all
I have 1 light brahma.. fingers crossed it will be pinkish eggs from her!!!! Also... I have noticed that both my jersey giants lay eggs with inconsistent color... I read that a hens egg will not change color but it seems mine are? I’m not 100% sure these ages are coming from the same hen but I watch them as often as I can and only 3 of them are going into the coop and one is an Easter Egger so it’s not her egg... the other two are jersey giants and the blue jersey giant started laying a week before the black JJ so the smaller eggs are from the black jersey giant and the larger eggs are from the blue jersey giant....
What hatchery did you use ?
We get pink eggs from one of our Easter eggers
No!!!! Breed her out ( before it's too late) to a ....dark copper maran and get babies that lay even darker pink eggs! <Reverify that....These eggs look Brown in the picture but they are very dark pink in better light. I have a mixed flock but I know where each girl lays and having seen my silkie on the best these are in and finding these pink eggs when she gets up I have no doubt. I will try for a better pic. I don't have a brown egg to compare it with at the moment, I used them all the other day and that girl is growing old and slowing down production side. Almost time for the soup pot.
That post was 8 years ago.
One of my three Salmon Faverolles lays pink eggs. The other two lay creamy colored eggs. One of my Easter Eggers lays blue eggs. Most of my other girls lay various shades of brown with the occasional spotted egg thrown in for good measure. I love, love, love my SFs!! They are chatty, very friendly, inquisitive, and courageous. My oldest SF, Butterfly, is my alpha and the other girls outweigh her by at least four or five pounds each! Butterfly, the pink egg layer, is on the top right in the mosh pit that is their favorite nest box.
