Thanks for sharing this LM :)
 
I have cream legbars their eggs are green or blue. They are darker than easter egger eggs. They start out the size of amercuna eggs but get bigger as they get older. If you bought them from a hatchery they are most likely easter eggers.If thats the case if the egg has more pigment its from the legbar. If the egg was laid at 6 months or older its the legbar. The easter eggers lay eariler.If you want CCL and don't have them I will have hatching eggs or chicks soon. I'll be gone tomorrow I have australorpes if you want to post a pic we can help you identify it. or I can post a pic for you. Pam


Pam, I didn't know you had australorps too! One of my original biddies from the feed store I think is an australorp. She's my daughter's favorite. I don't know if she's true, or not; the guy had RIRs, buff orpingtons, and australorps all running around together. But Twilight (the suspected BA) doesn't look very mixed to me. Her "sister" Herkey is definitely a mix, but so striking and pretty. Herkey's black feathers have the BA shimmery green/lavender.

Hello everyone, I'm new to BYC , live on the West Bank of New Orleans and am thinking about hatching out a few eggs. I would like some wyandottes; if anyone knows about some local hatching eggs I would appreciate a point in the right direction. If no locals, maybe a tip on a good online seller/shipper would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!!

All australorps have iridescent feathers that are green to purple. I have a flock of assorted breeds of hen's that are my egg layers for my eggs I sell. I breed my CCLegbars and will my Bielefelders when they start laying. I ordered some berried rocks fron a good line so depending on my hatch I may breed them. I will always have australorp's because they lay hudge eggs and a lot of them. I am really liking my 2 ccl x Easter egger chicks if the lay as good as their mother I may hatch more. Pam
