Bantam breeds that lay blue pink green eggs?

[HeidiEmbrey]

If you want tiny pink eggs, silkies lay those. Very pretty birds and very pretty eggs. Not only are they very unusual looking, they're extremely friendly and make amazing pets.

I read ..somewhere cant remember where..that silkies don't lay eggs! That they are ornamental and are only raised for pets and sometimes for their black meat? Two people here telling me silkies lay pink eggs though! How often does yours lay eggs on average? A decent amount? Thank you

Bantam Easter Eggers are awesome! They can be a little bit wacky, although I think that may just be an Easter Egger thing overall. They seem to come in more varieties of colors than standard sized EEs. I ordered mine from My Pet Chicken and they have extremely fluffy beards and muffs compared to my other bantam EEs from a different hatchery. I know people have received solid black, solid blue, golden/blond kinda colored, and white with grey patches similar to a snowy owl bantam EEs from My Pet Chicken.

Thank you. I have seen my pet chicken and actually was looking at one there. The bantam easter egger.. Your experience with them was good?

I have a standard ee that lays light olive eggs that are blue inside. She is one of the friendlist birds in my flock. She lays 4 or 5 eggs a week and always comes to visit when we are outside. She's my favorite and very sweet.
I have a Welsummer that lays terra cotta eggs with a few speckles, she averages about 4 eggs a week. She's not the friendlist bird, kinda mean to my ee these days. I knew Welsummers don't have the friendly reputation of other breeds, but I wanted variation in my egg basket too!
Let us know what you decide to get.

I will let you know..thanks so much! I'm definitely wanting a easter egger bantam

Silkies definitely lay eggs, though not at an excellent rate. They are nowhere near Leghorns in terms of production, but they lay well enough. They more than make up for the okay lay rate with their cuteness, though.

Thanks..i would be perfectly happy with 3 eggs a week. Do you think they lay that many?

 

[SilkiesInSuburb]

That's almost exactly how much they lay. It varies a bit, but stays about the same.

Yes, it was! My one layer (started at 5 months) lays an egg every day, and they’re pretty friendly, and not aggressive or too docile.
