Purple and pink eggs

[bikergirl]

Breeding for extra bloom(Egg Cuticle layer) can be done, I've seen what it looks like purple eggs or plum eggs but it's a heavy layer of bloom on top of the brown layer, the Cuticle works as an antibacterial layer

I have a BCM hen that lays an egg with the heavy bloom I never thought about it, but it does look purple. I’ll have to post a picture when she lays another one

I ordered chicks from her, but not the langshan. My order should be ready next month, kind of random to just come across her website in this post!

What did you order? Have you ever ordered from her before? Not being nosey......just excited

I’m getting six lavender Ameraucanas. Actually I’m doing a Chickens swap my friend is buying me their six lavenders and I’m trading her BCM chicks and some OE chicks I’m working on.

Is this what people are considering purple egg in the middle? This is from one of my BCM hens her name is Mad C ( named after a European graffiti artist) sometime Mad C’s eggs having an even bloom and it looks like they’re spray-painted lol

My columbian rocks lay tan eggs for the most part. My girl Christina lays pink ones instead of tan though. Other than that I get blue, green (my EE columbian rock cross lays green ones), and dark reddish speckled. I have a very pretty egg basket!

Oh how fun. I lost my OE a few weeks ago. I'm getting 2 new pullets but the wait for those beautiful eggs will be tough.

Yes, that is it! it looks like a dark plum, the shades of purple/pink will vary depending on the underlaying brown color

I’ve heard that Catalanas lay pink eggs.

I was reading up on the Australian Langshan and apparently they were created from croad Langshans. Their tall needs to be less than 35 degree angle.
