    I am not an expert but blue egg layers have green legs. luckily this farm says they might lay pink eggs. true ameraucanas and araucanas lay blue eggs only.

    I am fascinated by you who hatch eggs at school. in my part of the world people ask me why I who was born and grew up as a city girl decided to keep chickens. I guess most people in the south of europe are ashamed of their country origins. they don't understand the beauty of living with the...

    I am not an expert. I remember reading a post where someone mentioned that pure blue egg layers lay eggs which are blue inside as well. I think it was in araucana thread.

    their eggs should be blue inside as well. when you crack them check for colour. if they are white inside than they have only 1 blue egg gene.

    I had bad luck with hatching. only 3 BCM hatched, no OE. I put 3 more eggs under the duck broody and the rats already got 1. I am offering them a special dinner tonight, hope they will leave this world as soon as possible.

    my female chicks usually develop tail earlier but it seems this is not a case with easter eggers. another thing that helps is wattles, again not with easter eggers and their crosses. patience, time will tell!

    hard to tell with crosses. #1 probably girl, #2 probably boy, #3 might be a girl. what crosses are they?

    sorry for your loss. maybe she wasn't sick. as my vet says it might be a natural selection that happens to all living beings.

    1 is a girl for sure, black and white look like boy, the third one is hard to tell. I have a NN girl that had comb like that at 4 weeks. if 1 of their parents was pure blue/green egg layer they all are OE.

    beautiful bird! whatever you cross with pure ameraucanas will lay blue/green eggs. I think you might get a nice rainbow of blue and green shades.

    only if he has a blue egg gene and passes it to the chicks.

    The Olive-Egger thread!

    if I understood the genetics the blue egg gene is dominant so it would show up. but I am not an expert. as a kid I was fascinated by speckled eggs this one in nice and reminded me of my childhood.

    my first guess was boy because of comb but at 9 weeks my bcm cockerel had big wattles too. I am not familiar with cream legbars but I think they too have big wattles. so I keep my fingers crossed it is a girl.
