Welcome to BYC & congratulations on your graduation! Mypetchicken.com has what they call a Silked Easter Egger. Good luck with your project!

Hiya, and welcome to BYC!

I could be wrong, but I believe @Slothinc was working on breeding silkies to lay blue eggs. I just breed silkies for the fun of it and the joy of others who buy them.

We're glad you're here!

@Debbie292d thanks for the tag!!

@Kimonoboi I am working on that project!! I had a lot of difficulty finding anyone who is actively breeding blue egg silkies. It seems that several who used to, are no longer involved. I did recently find a couple of people on fb dabbling in it. One person actually has been breeding them for many years. Her hatching eggs are so expensive though, I don’t think I could ever afford them. I am about 3 generations in, but I have yet to have a project bird with 2 copies of the gene. However, I am hoping that in another generation or two I can get a double blue egg gene bird!

Feel free to reach out to me or tag me in any posts about blue egg silkies! I love to talk about them! I’ll post pics of a laying pullet that has a gorgeous blue egg. She doesn’t look totally like a silkie but getting closer.
