Exciting news!! I separated “eagle” in a dog crate inside our large coop. She is now laying!! A blueish green egg. View attachment 3418806

Wow! That is a pretty color!

That's a good blue. Thinking both parents are blue eggers.

Have any blue egger hens?

No, these are our first blue eggs?

Well I should say I dont have any other chickens that lay blue eggs.

The egg on left is one of our Olive eggers. Ther two on the right are “eagles” eggs

I’m sorry I had these labeled backwards earlier and just now caught it

Olive Eggers carry the blue egg gene.

Now you know for sure that one of the roosters carries a nice colored egg gene.

Just found this thread and wow she’s a stunning bird! If that coloring is able to be passed on she could make one stunning project Ameraucana variety, especially since she already lays some nice blue eggs!

So would this solidify she is prob part leghorn then since I’m guessing the egger genes came from her part egger dad and another white egg layer which is the leghorn.

Not necessarily.

Thinking both parents have the blue egg gene result in such a strong blue color.
