I was just wondering if it were possible to add a little yard candy to our laying flock. I was hoping to have both colorful hens AND colorful eggs...am I being too greedy?
So far we have an Ameraucana, BSL, Giant Cochin and Barred Rock. Hopefully, these ladies will lay some brown and possibly blue or pale green tinted eggs.
I am absolutely in love with the olive and chocolate colored eggs - but have only seen these eggs come from black hens. Since we already have half a flock of black beauties, I was wondering if there were any other feather colors available that produce stunning egg color?
I'm very new to having a backyard flock (hens ONLY!) - and friendliness is a concern, but if you guys have any suggestions I'm all ears!
I personally love the look of those laced Barnevelders, but I know the eggs won't be darkly colored!
Pictures greatly appreciated!
