I agree, it is all very confusing to me too. They are tempting though, what color are the blue-egg-laying parents?

ok For the folks like me that do not know the difference......I found the colors and here they are.........

Eight colors are officially recognized for poultry shows by the American Poultry Association: Black, Blue, Blue Wheaten, Brown Red, Buff, Silver, Wheaten and White.

If you go to the photos section it shows them all. On the site I posted.

I don't really care what we call them. They are just too pretty! If they are still here in the morning, I will be too tempted.

Ok, I have been tempted. I will take the blue-eggs for my mother, that is what she really wants. If I can split it, can I do 1 or 2 of the RIRs? I have been wanting one of those Irish Setter red chickens to go with my dog.

I have to offer 6+ eggs from my pen of partridge and buff silkies. Not show quality, but I think they are pretty.

If this gets taken soon and if you want, I can throw in a couple of pekin duck eggs, they aren't leaving until later in the week. Here are a couple of pics of some of my girls. I think mostly the partridge are laying right now, the buffs are trying to hatch air most of the time.

and my pretty new baby, isn't she cute?

I am thoroughly confused. I had someone accept my swap eggs, and win an auction. I quoted her shipping, as she wanted them all shipped together, for the auction AND the swap, not adding extra for the swap. I got a kinda rude pm saying she'd already paid me for the swap eggs. I haven't gotten money for the swap eggs. It was my understanding I was to pay for the shipping of the swap eggs...

So, I'm sorry, but I can't offer my silkies anymore. I wish I could, as they are very lovely birds and make great mothers, but I really don't want people being rude to me. I'll send them to the last person who took them, but that's it. I don't think I deserved this. If anyone is interested in eggs, please pm me.
