So I have a female Cayuga named faith I got her last summer or fall, her owner was gonna cull her cause she is blind. She was only born last spring so this is her first season of egg laying. This morning I found a green egg near her. So my question is do cayugas lay green eggs?i thought I read somewhere they lay black eggs? As far as I know this is her first egg, although I used to have a drake who was eating any egg he could find so maybe she has been laying and he was feasting haha. I also have a Muscovy who is almost 2 years old she was laying last spring and summer but her eggs were white. But then again my Muscovy has Blu-Kote on her foot, would the blu Kote die her eggs? I’ll try and attach a photo of the egg

According to Metzer farms, only 2% of Cayugas lay Blue/greens eggs. I don't believe Muscovys lay Blue eggs. @Miss Lydia has scovies so she might know. I don't think Blu-Jote would have any effect on the egg color.


Yeah last year when my Muscovy was laying her eggs were not that Color, just so odd I expected my cayugas eggs to be black... although it is interesting to have green eggs
