They got rid of their Whiting Blues.

I really like the name Whiting Blues, has a really cool ring to it.

I wouldnt be surprised if they were bought out by a commercial egg company if they had the motive to sell blue eggs. The U of Ark just scrapped what they had, from my understanding the creator is still working with them.

You might have missed the first graphic because the first cross that is shown up there has a Heterozygous hen and a homozygous recessive male.... So Elias's first cross would have been accurate, and then if he had taken a leghorn roosters over the resulting hens then you would get the first...

One thing you should remember though is that the Blue Egg gene and the Pea Comb gene are linked genes so it would be easier to keep the Blue eggs if you would keep the pea combed birds, though you can get a SC bird laying blue eggs. Also, it might be easier and cheaper if you find a tailed...

Their egg color is amazing though.

I was wondering how many people would be interested in these?

Some chicks were just sold on another auction site. It said they lay a large egg for a bantam, and they are good free ranging.

I would get these if I were to get bantam blue egg layers. http://www.oneearthfarm.com/chickens/maidenrocks.html

Middle one is black, I should make some bantam production blue egg layers lol

The one on the far left is a bantam hen that runs loose on my farm.

I phrased that wrong, its the pair i have had but a new picture. And yes the hen should lay blue eggs

Heres a picture of my pair I got last night... Roosting in the rafters.
