Not all people selling eggs can be trusted. CCL hens that lay green eggs are not pure and somewhere along the way ended up having brown egg genes introduced into them.View attachment 1716559 I recently ordered some CCL from a exotic breed hatchery. I received the eggs and when I opened the box I had green eggs? I’ve had CCL for 10 years and never had one lay a green egg. Pic is the green eggs next to my blue eggs from my CCL. I don’t want a green eggs from my CCL. Did the eggs get switched or do CCL lay green eggs?
I already spoke with them, but it’s not exactly the answer I expected. They told me it was because they were f3... I don’t know everything about genetics, but I’ve never seen this color is breeding 100% CCL to 100% CCL they have always laid a blue egg.Yikes, I'd be on the phone.
GFF at some point did a cross of CCL to Rhodebars(I would guess to preserve the Autosexing traits) but this lead to some Rhodebar owners getting hens that laid green eggs and some pullets having small crests.I had CCL direct from GFF that laid green eggs and they were from their Jill Reece line.
