Here in Croatia you can only buy rumpless true araucanas. Some people have single combed green eggers that don't have anything with araucanas, they look like every other single combed chickens.

do you have any pics of single comb green egg layers? any idea what breed that might be?

I don't have pics of them and I don't know anyone who has them but I saw them on Croatian selling pages. They are so mixed and actually are not any breed. People have different colored, size and body tipe green eggers. Like I already said, they look like every other single combed chickens like RIRs, orpingtons, plymouth rocks only different color.

I believe cream legbars lay blue eggs and are single combed, but don't know if they are in Europe, or if they are the same in Europe.

Yes, they are same here, but these are not cream legbars, just some mixed breeds.

Here people don't keep breeds like you do, except ones that keep them for show or ones that keep them for reservancy of Croatian breeds

Mine are mixes too, but all NN. I call mine "Seussers" (a chicken that would look in place in a Dr. Seuss book)

I figured they weren't the same since legbars are a breed, but thought someone was just wanting a breed that layed blue eggs and had a single comb.

I know you have mixes, if I remember you have some houdan and sumatra, maybe some EE, but I woudn't call these here even mixes because there are no breeds at all in their past.

I actually never heard of that book or whatever that is, I am going to search a bit to find out what is it talking about haha

One of my Naked Neck pullets has been escaping her pen every day to lay her egg. She gets on a bale of straw, jumps/flies onto the nearby hoop house, jumps off and heads across the garden. I hadn't been able to find her eggs but yesterday I followed her and found her nest of 12 eggs. I figured I would just let her lay her egg and then collect them all up. 3 hours later she was still out there and had started to growl at me when I looked at her. Evening came and she stayed out there. So I took some of her eggs out since she still had some small pullet eggs and put 4 green eggs under her and one from another NN pullet.
The green eggs are from my black Silkie rooster and single combed, yellow legged green egg layers. The NN eggs should be by the silkie rooster but those girls wander around and are sometimes in with the red cochin bantam rooster. Hopefully he didn't get them fertilized and it's the silkie rooster. I guess I'll find out in a few weeks. I don't need more chickens and I hate culling the boys but it's irresistible to see if she'll hatch them out.

And purely for entertainment, here's a very entertaining local ad for a bantam NN rooster. Warning - it has political overtones but I happen to think it's funny no matter what your political view points are!
