What color egg will this chicken lay?

[amd87]

She is a mix of a black copper maran and a crested cream legbar. (I have two like this.) I know they should be olive or green, but I’m curious if anyone has this mix and what color green they’ll be? And if they are speckled green? She should start laying in a month or two, so at this point I’m just curious what other have experienced!

No telling

I agree. It’s a wait and see.

Could both hens that are that mix lay different colors then the other then?

 

[nuthatched]

Yes. Can sisters have different body types, skin, eye and hair colors? Yes.

 

[BoundlessLove]

Sure can. Cream Legbars can lay cream colored eggs instead of blue.
Just depends on which gene she has.

Thank you! Do you have any of this breed yourself?

I have four CL at the moment.
My CL roo has been one of the best roosters I’ve ever raised.

Yay! My crested CL is my only roo and while he doesn’t love to be picked up, he is gentle and sweet so far. I’m hoping that remains the case, because I want to experiment with the different colors he might produce in his offspring! if I get a good picture of him today I’ll share as well! Mine looks much younger than your guy tho.
