Cream legbar hatching eggs

[LaserDaiser]

Hi there! I’m just getting into breeding and selling crested cream legbar hatching eggs. My hens are a mix from other local breeders, (who don’t sell hatching eggs, so nothing to go off of there) and from Murray mcmurray hatchery. My roosters however, come from green fires exhibition line and have been tested for, and carry the blue egg gene. They should not throw green egg laying offspring. With this information in mind, and me being a complete newby, any thoughts on what a fair price might be for a dozen hatching eggs?

When you say your hens are a mix, did you mean a mix of breeds, or a mix of lines?

When you had your roo tested, was he heterozygous or homozygous for the blue egg gene?

Technically, green eggs are blue eggs. They just also have brown tint, a whole separate bunch of genes.
A chicken can be homozygous for the blue egg gene and still produce green eggs.
And brown egg genes being what they are, they can show up later on in a blue laying flock.
The best way to be sure what you are offering is to test hatch. Raise a hundred pullets to maturity and check their egg color.

How does your stock compare when it comes to type for the breed? (conformation, size, feather color, dermal pigment, etc.)
