Blue egg layers in China

[Mimi13]

Mimi. Perhaps the plate is small? Making the eggs look extra big? Or they really are big. Anyway, those soda cans are actually thinner and shorter than U.S. soda cans. The first time I saw it, I was startled. It was during a visit to Korea. Of course, I'm not a hundred percent sure. I've never been to China.

Me either, but he has been going to China for several years now and, looking back, it seems to me that all of his meals have been centered around duck in some form or other. I can’t imagine he’s been told incorrectly all this time, but who knows. And I do agree that these eggs look much smaller than some of the others he has shown me. I’m gonna have to quiz him when he gets home. “What you been eating boy?”

Alvin, how many real Chinese breeds of chickens are found in other countries?

Good evening or good day. Ha, about this problem, in fact, there are very many native chicken breeds in China. But in other countries, many of them are from Chinese chicken lineages. For example: Silkie, Brahman, Cochin, Pekin Bantam, some game chicken, gallus and so on.
In nearby Japan, there are still a lot of improved chicken breeds from Chinese chicken breeds.

I am surprised that you will eat sufu, you know, many Chinese people cant accept it.
There are so many strange foods in China, such as hatching half of the eggs. I can't accept that. If you really like some of the food, I can only say that you are very brave. Ha ha ha

How strange. He always sends me pictures (knowing I am jealous) of his food and duck eggs are always a part of his meals, as is duck. They are very large if they’re chicken eggs.

Hi,mimi.
The "tea egg" you see from your husband does come from chicken eggs. People usually use brown eggs to boil tea eggs. Because they are cheaper and easier to get than other eggs, and brown eggs are really bigger, they usually come from Hyline brown and ISA brown.

As for ducks, its true that Chinese people can cook ducks very well, but they are still not popular with chickens.
So your husband hasn't only eaten ducks and duck eggs in China for many years.

Maybe he ate some pork or something else that Americans rarely eat. It's interesting(≧∇≦)/

You’ve got that right! When he first started visiting China he would ask at each meal what he was eating. He would say to his co-workers, “I’m eating beef, right?” Cause you know us Americans and how we love our beef. After a while they began telling him actually what he was eating and that it wasn’t a cow, but it did walk on four legs, with hooves. Yep, he stopped asking. I think it’s hilarious.

Hi, guys. In BYC, I would like to introduce some Chinese breeds of blue eggs, which come from the central, southwestern, southern and so on. Some of them can be seen in every province of China.

①DongXiang blue egg layer
Dongxiang chicken from Dongxiang of Jiangxi Province, In fact, at first, there were many colors in Dongxiang, but almost all of them were black bone chickens.

After more than 10 years of breeding. They were transformed into black feathers, black skin, black feet, black bones, black meat, and black viscera. So they have another name called "Five Black One Green Eggs" (China calls blue eggs green eggs). They lay eggs in 170-180 days. They give lay to 140-160 beautiful blue eggs every year. They are very similar to Ayam Cemani, but they are not as dark as Ayam Cemani.

Later, in order to get more eggs, people made Dongxiang of partridge and Dongxiang of black red combs. They can produce about 200 eggs a year.
They can lay eggs close to 100% of the blue eggs.

This is Dongxiang five black one green and their eggs:

How do I go about getting some hatching eggs shipped to the US of the five black one green?

I don’t think you can. It is illegal to bring most things, such as fertilized chicken eggs, out of China. They would be confiscated going through customs. But wouldn’t it be nice to have those beautiful chickens!

 

[ChickenGuppy]

Yes it would!

 

[ChickenGuppy]

I wish though!
