    I wish I lived in the country! I have 19 and the city I live in allows up to six. Crazy to think of moving just to have more chickens. Kern

    Made my day hearing that! Keep me informed of how many pullets you get and about the egg color 6 months from now. Kern

    I bet if you cross her to a blue egg layer you will get green. Kern

    I doubt you could get a green egg layer from that cross. Kern

    My guess is blue, green, or blue-green. I want to see pictures of 2nd generation eggs crossed back to a blue egg rooster. Kern

    The way I read this it is a BCM hen bred to Lavender Ameraucana roo and then that hen bred back to a CL roo. I am missing something if that crossing doesn't make green eggs all the time. It would seem there are a lot more blue egg genes in that cross than in the original cross. Kern

    CL don't carry two blue egg genes? Kern

    I thought crossing back to a blue egg layer would certainly give you blue or green not brown, like crossing back to a dark brown layer might. Kern

    Doesn't look like cresting on Legbars to me. The Marans X Legbars that I did had very little crest, and certainly not the big poofy crest. Kern

    Wondering if anybody else noticed that egg color might vary depending on comb type. I had six Olive Eggers. Three were single comb and three are combination or pea comb. The single comb birds had the darkest and most olive colored eggs of the six. The non-single comb bird's eggs are much...

    Got our first olive egg yesterday. Very pleased with the color. The two blue pullet eggs are Legbar over Easter Eggers, and the pinkish beige is a Swedish Flower Hen. Have five more olive egger pullets yet to lay. Can't wait to see what comes out. Kern

    I thought an EE could be anything that layed colored eggs no matter the genes. I would think a Legbar crossed to an Ameraucana would be called an Easter Egger, but would have two blue egg genes. Likewise two Ameraucanas of different colors crossed that produce non-conforming Ameraucana colors...

    That is the prettiest egg I have ever scene! Is the color true to the picture? I also want to know about what cross made that egg. Kern
