The butcher has blue eggs and has offered me some chicks (I shall stay with my ex battery girls) I too forget what breed they are but shall ask him next time. Anna http://www.araucanas.co.uk/ :wink:
Chart showing egg colours for different breeds HERE I found a better one than this last weekend but didn't bookmark it :( blue eggsI have one blue maran, but so far I havent had any eggs (2 weeks) since I got it. The eggs are meant to be brown, as are the black rock and the buff orpington eggs but I am still waiting. I was going to get one which laid blue eggs but wasnt able to at the time, and now I dont mind what colour they are as long as one lays something soon.

The maran eggs are supposed to be a deep chocolate brown.. but I've reaad that a lot of interbreading has lead to the strains of maran being dilute and therefore reducing the depth of colour... .. I'm looking for some that lay the really dark brown eggs.. the blue egg layer is the Araucana, but there is another one...
