6 Wheaten ameraucana eggs

[peachick]

Sure. That photo was taken indoors in front of a large sliding glass door. Blue eggs in direct sunlight, and when using a flash, will look washed out and faded.

I did this experiment 2 years ago it was noon time, on a sunny september day. I took photos in different lighting environments and trying to find what most accurately represents the color... of course everybody's monitors are different.... and people see blues and greens different. Time of day and outside weather conditions change color too. If it was 6pm, on a cloudy day, they would look different than they did on this day.

I raise bantams but have had my eyes set on these for years now but, the LF just took up too much darned space and ... now, I finally have the room to expand.. Fortunately, I live about 45 minutes from said Peachick and will be making my way over yonder later in the week to scoop my new pair.

Many thanks, Kat. Cannot wait til I get my first blue eggs
