Not currently but I will try to get a few later when I get home. I have been pretty happy with egg color on these guys Ok I took an egg photo tonight. Very hard to capture the true color but I tried. I would say they are not a perfect Blue Blue but not real green like pic captured either. This is a Cream Legbar egg compared to a sky Blue Ameraucana egg I get (Ameraucana egg on the left, Cream Legbar on the right). The recessive White Legbars I had laid a really Blue Blue egg. I sold that trio to CJWaldon so you may want to contact her for very Blue Legbar eggs

I love that olive green egg! Pretty!

Thanks you. That was incredibly interesting and educational. I am a newbie so I am like a sponge right now lol.

You should check out Resolution's thread about the South American chickens. It is a wonderful, informative and entertaining narrative of how chickens started in South East Asia and migrated with people through the South Pacific Islands and at last came to South America. In the course of the narrative he explains that all the native South American chickens are Quechuas (pronounced Ket-wa or Kech wa). Think of this like a families surname.

Under that family name you have the following relatives (and this may not be a complete list btw)

Auracana - tailless, blue eggs, ear tufts, pea comb
Ameraucana - tailed, blue eggs, beards and muff, pea comb
Americana a.k.a. Easter Egger - tailed, blue, pink and green eggs, beards and muff or clean face, pea comb or straight but if straight usually doesn't lay blue (or green).
- subtype Olive Egger - - tailed, deep brown and olive eggs, beards and muff or clean face, pea comb or straight but if straight usually doesn't lay olive
My OE girl with "peachfuzz" beard.

My OE roo, Long John with beard.

Collanas - tailess, cleanfaced (US stock) or bearded (SAm stock) blue and other colored eggs, landrace, one of the ancestors of he Auracana.
CleanfacedBearded



Huastec - tailed, crested, lays colored eggs including tea and sand colors, pea comb


British and Australian Auracana - tailed, crested, bearded, blue eggs, pea comb (there is a high likelihood that this was what was used in creating the Crested Cream Legbar)


Black Olmec Quechua - Fibromelanistic (black to the bone), colored eggs with a stone color being most often, tailed, bearded, landrace

Sweet Potato Quechua - tailed, bearded, pink, blue, green and tea colored eggs. (one of the ancestors of the Ameraucana), landrace


Quechua de Arietes (I may have mutilated the Spanish spelling. Means Quechua with Earrings) Tailed, ear tufts, blue and other colored eggs, Landrace in SAm. No breeding population that I
know of in the States but could be recreated using the Auracana and the Ameraucana.
And going by this photo it looks like this one has a short beard at least.

Collanca de Arietes - this is what SAm chickens looking like our Auracana are called. The "collanca" part is in reference to the missing tail.

One of the things that I most like in Resolutions narrative is the name he prefers instead of Easter Egger. He uses North American Improved Quechua. This both describes their South American origin and family (Quechua) and the fact that modern breeds have been added to the mix to improve egg laying and table use. When you put a picture of an Easter Egger (mixed breed kind not mixed colored Ameraucanas) up next to an Ameraucana you can still see that they are cousins: pea comb, beards, muffs (may just be token peachfuzz on the EE, but not naked skin) Sure the EE's beard may not be as thick and it may have some differences in body styling (tending to be a bit heavier or chestier especially if Rocks are in the mix) but still clearly related.

By contrast the Cream Legbars while having the blue gene though not the pea comb have a very Leghorn body styling and comb. The blue eggs and the crest is the only clues to their relatives in South America.

I have lots of boxes that will ship on Monday from my barnyard mix.
$16 for 1 dozen(shipping included) and $21 for 2 dozens shipping included!
I am offering these boxes as I need to get rid of a lot of eggs(I get 3 dozens a day and I do nothing with them)
Please let me know if you are interested in a box or two or how ever many. Shipping is priority and I ship MON-Wednesday.






















The barnyard mix is a pen that consists of eggs layers. the hens are leghorn, wellsummer, andalusian, and red hybrids. the roosters in that pen are barred rock, leghorn, olive egger, easter egger, copper maran, buff orp cross, rhode island red and copper maran cross.
I cannot guarantee that the eggs will hatch due to shipping and handling but I will package the eggs to the best of my ability!
Thank you.
