Anyone want to join my blue egg laying Silkie project?

In a few years, I'll have produced a standard/large breed silkie, but I'm sure that other people are far ahead of me in doing the same. They are common in Europe. This isn't an intensive project for me, so progress will be slow as compared to someone who works harder at producing large batches from which to select the next generation's breeders. I just don't have the time to do the intensive breeding and production. Cherrie Nolden

My son already has 2 blue egg laying silkies.

Heres some of my F3 chicks from this past summer, come next spring when they start laying I'll post some egg pictures. The rump less trait as proven to be the hardest to deal with, as you can see above.






First F1 egg I had got, I'll try to get some pictures of some of the F2 eggs.

Is anyone still working on this project? I also wanted to try to do this. Anyone have any hatching eggs they'd be willing share?

I just found two blue eggs in my coop. I have never seen eggs like this before Q to all are they safe to eat.

absolutely! Half the eggs we get every day are blue/green. Taste just like the others

Thank you so much for answering my question but how can I find out which hen is laying them? This is my little flock.
