I'm seeing this rounded, blunt end egg shape in my flock and I think it might be being passed by the males.... or maybe I'm imagining things!
This hen's mother lays longer, narrower eggs....
BUT Chulla's father's sisters lay eggs like this....
Maybe I'm imagining things!
6+ eggs from an ongoing project focused on stabilizing a rumpless, fibromelantistic bantam flock that lays shiny blue eggs.
I have developed pedigrees for each of the birds in this lineage and like to keep track of birds hatched by buyers. Not all my hens are laying shiny blue, not all of...
I have two small rumpless Collonca hens who lay these wonderful shiny blue eggs. The girls have been free roaming the barnyard so the paternal contribution is widely varied.
Extras may include bantam olive eggers.
I only have ONE set. They'll be shipped Monday morning. Price includes...
I have a lf cochin I hatched from a set of blue lf cochin eggs several years ago. He had a bit of gold in his neck right away but it has gotten progressively more prominent and is now really gorgeous. He's about 3 years old (missing an eye & has an evil looking spur - good thing he has a lovely...

CENTRAL & SOUTH AMERICAN / South Pacific COMPOSITES
$25 plus $10 shipping*
My personal interpretation of these birds is that these South American "breeds" can be loosely tracked along bioregional lines and should be considered more like clusters of similar traits rather than tightly delineated...
or even some eggs from a swedish with a rust fault... Or hatchery stock with rust? Anyone?
Yeah, I know offspring from this project won't meet the SOP. No, I don't care - I'm just playing around trying to get a brown with a nice white bib. This is a personal satisfaction kind of thing.

What kind of experiences are people having with different sources of swedish blues? I had a couple of swedish blues for several years and loved them. I'm wanting to get some more and am wondering where people are having the most luck.
9+ Blue Barred Rock PROJECT hatching eggs
I have solid blue hens isolated with a black barred rock rooster AND a blue barred 2nd generation rooster. The eggs will hatch out a high percentage of blue barred males and females but there will also be the occasional solid blacks and blues...
I had a hen abandon a nest a few weeks ago -- we had a very nasty storm and she totally freaked out. I found the eggs totally cold the next day but decided to plunk them in an incubator just in case. I just candled & all 15 look to be alive. I put them in the 'bator on the 5th so we're 10...
