I need help starting a small business of selling cartons of eggs containing all shades possible! I already have chickens but I think it would be nice to earn some cash for the pocket. I would like to stick with large eggs and good layers. I am a fan of the docile breeds though I do know that the good white layers are far from it.
so...
Brown eggs - Speckled Sussex and Deleware.
Dark Brown - Welsummer (I would take marans but I've heard they do poorly in high temps)
White- Exequer Leghorn and Blue Andalusian
Blue eggs - Ameraucanas (HQ)
Green Eggs - Hatchery quality ee's (sold as ameraucanas, but I already know their secret
)
Tinted eggs - Faverolles
What do you think? Do you have any suggestions as to what breeds and such? Any colors that I'm missing?
Pretty much I want some good suggestions as to what breeds I should get for the different colors (and where I should get them). Ideal has been my primary source but that will obviously not due for the ameraucanas. I'm pretty satisfied with the quality of the rest of my chickens from them. Also. I am pretty limited on space (I have almost 3 acres). So I can't have a flock of 100 or too many roos. My neighbors are close by.
