$160 Lavender Eggs!

[KareyABohr]

Yeah Sorry Katy, I have my Sebbies on the brain. I had four eggs in the bator, due on the 10th.
Two were duds. Keeping my fingers crossed on the remaining two. I just hope they LIVE let alone get a boy and a girl!

Wow, someone gave me a naked neck lavender hen last fall. She's given me a couple eggs for the incubator, but I don't have any other lavenders, so we will have some really mixed up little naked necks!

PS - sorry for the really bad pic, and yes, the little turkey head (which is now her name b/c of my fiance) is in our living room.

why Thats a blue naked neck, not a lavender...I see lacing on the plumage, quills are not correct either

What color of skin do lavenders have? This little girl has black feet, and everywhere but her neck is black skin. She also has a black beak. I'm not saying that she is definatly a lavender, she could be a mutt for all I care. I'll never give her up as she is by far my best hen. She is definatly not blue like my blue silkie hen. I'll try to get a better photo next week.

It looks like a blue to me

She's a pretty girl regardless.

Well, lilke I said, she could be a mutt and I wouldn't give her up. I'm not one for telling the colors of chickens. I sell depending on the color of egg, not the color of the bird. I can tell my RIR apart from the golden comets, and every other bird is a different color that I have.

So, anyway, why are lavender eggs worth $10 each?

 

[lowcountrypoultry]

I think they are Lavender Orp eggs, and Lavender is a very rare color in orpingtons I suppose.

So, If you had a Lavender Orp Rooster, and Bred it to a Lavender Orp hen, would you get 100% lavender chicks?
