I have some that lay blue eggs and many that lay green eggs. The blue egg layers have pea combs and were crossed with Easter Eggers. Most of my green egg layers have straight combs and their egg color vary from pale celery to rich olive to even a teal green. I'm not selling hatching eggs at this time because most of my birds are in heavy molt and I'm trying to cull down my flock before setting up breeding pens, but I should have some available in the coming months or next spring.

Have your NNs laid any pink, or lavender eggs? Just curious.

NN makes everything more heat tolerant. It's been

proven several

times in broiler studies(NN broilers gaining more weight than non NN broilers. the effect gets more dramatic the hotter it gets etc), personal experience etc.

THANK YOU for that info Kev...!!excellent ..! i live in AZ and its important to have a really heat tolerant bird out here, broodies die trying to brood their chicks in the heat, i run a cooler all summer long for my birds so they can lay their eggs & be safe from heat stroke death, so your info about the heat tolerant qualities of the NN i find every interesting indeed...!!!! i was not really sure about that very important quality the NN have..! if i had a my way i would want a splash or Colombian colored NN that laid colored eggs...! this would be to me the ultimate chicken..! & with all the other great qualities the NN has, thats a total dream bird..!! so im looking for any one who is breeding this kind of NN right now, & in those colors or any other very interesting patterns or colors & also lays colored eggs..!! :woot
