I would love to have the groups' opinion of what you think are the best blue egg layers.
I have been wanting to add one to my flock and in searching around in the internet it's so hard to get a good picture of them.
I thought I'd get "real life" experience from anyone who would like to chime in.
I have a Cream Legbar hen & her eggs are closer to pale green-blue - same with my rumpless Araucana.
Is there a breed that lays a true blue egg with no green tint?

Hey!! Madera is a small town, we just may know each other! LOL well I have 20 birds.. 7 RIR's, and the rest I could use some help with with...When I went to Evans the first time I just snatched up all the ones they had and can't remember what kind they told me they were... Then I sent my mom with my son to pickup some more and they can't remember what kind they are

My blue project s are blue. But my ee were blue and my cl were blue im lucky
 
I went to Chowchilla HS (84 so mine was quite a while ago :). I have a lot of different breeds, some I'm breeding & showing and some just because. I'd have a hard time picking a favorite breed. My favorite bird though is a tiny little Serama hen who thinks she the size of an elephant. She rules the ranch :)

If you post photos of your birds I'm sure we can all help you figure out what they are. This is the best thread on this site with helpful & knowledgeable peeps.
