I posted a photo of my blue eggs on page 1 of this thread. The girls have been laying the same color eggs all year.... all the girls!
This fall I should ahve 10 hens laying that same blue egg. They are Wheaten Ameracaunas.

Randy! we are neighbors. I also live in Taneytown.... sent you a PM.

TRACEYPERKINS, I have several blue laying hens I would part with. Some of the hens are blue, coincidently. They are EE's mostly Ameraucanas mixed with Golden Laced Wyandottes and Silver Laced Wyandottes. Most have beards. Since they are only ten minutes from you it shouldn't be too hard of a deal to put together. PM sent.

Okay, I found my BLUE BLUE egg layers in Eustis Florida.

Went to the breeders farm and saw that she breeds only Araucanas, pure bred Araucanas and has more than a dozen blue eggs under three different hens that are just the same color as the egg pictured in post #33 on this thread.

The hens are setting on those eggs now and I picked-up 11 brand new chicks to see if I can do the same.

Finally some chickens in my flock that will consistently lay beautiful blue eggs.

It is too hot this summer to ship anything in Florida, but if you wait until the fall, I am sure she will have babies and eggs to ship.

All of her chickens are rumpless, which I don't think is very attractive, and have mild tufting. She says she tries to breed the less tufted ones because they hatch better, less of them die than the extreme tufted.

She seems to think that the really big tufts make it harder for the chick to get out of the egg, I guess that would make sense.

I only wanted them for the eggs so the actual chicken and it's appearance are less important to me.

Now all I need to do is grow them real big and get some eggs.

I would love to have BLUE BLUE eggs. I live in Orange Co., NY and work in Wayne, NJ. Does anyone has chicks, or layers they can part with?

that's great you found your eggs

the tufts and getting out of the shell have nothing to do with each other. I have some hugely tufted araucana and they don't hatch with them, they only have some fuzz on their face. Buy hey, if her system works

there is a lethal gene associated with the tufts, so it is a genetic, not physical problem

good luck with them
