Hi, first time posting and first time hatching incubated eggs from my 3 Ameraucana hens and my Bielefelder rooster. They started hatching this morning, and I’m hoping to get about 10 of them. My questions are: A, can I expect them to be auto sexing? And B, anyone has any photos they can share of...
I am having trouble finding a lot about Starlight Green Eggers (SGEs) or many pics of them. I come across a few here and there, but I think people including myself are really looking for more about them and want to see pics of what their chicks may look like as adults.
For that reason, I'm...

Looking for tips to breed olive Eggers with the most pigmented green possible. Looking to produce the greenest eggs
I was thinking of using BBS Ameraucana hens and a Marans rooster or vice versa - opinions on this please
Can I get the greenest eggs in an F1 cross?
What shade of brown...
These Olive Eggers from Ideal hatched 5/19 or 6/23. They are a cross between Easter Eggers and Welsummers or Barnevelders. These have multi-colored plumage with some having beards and muffs similar to Easter Eggers and some not. They are excellent layers of Olive Colored eggs
They currently...
I have seven 22 week old EEs, and 5 of them are now laying. I've noticed that their egg color varies a lot from day to day. Sometimes it's a nice dark olive, or light green, and even blue sometimes. I know I'm not getting the pullets mixed up since I keep track of which pullet is in which...
I am not sure because we have beautiful pullets (they aren't a year old yet but just starting to lay eggs..) and they don't lay blue eggs like we were told. I am very upset and confused about all of this. They are about 6 months and no blue eggs. We have for sure one chicken not laying. So the...

The Green Queen is a relatively new variety of Easter Egger that was created by Meyer Hatchery. It is a bird of varying sizes that lays various shades of green eggs. It is usually bearded and muffed, sometimes has feathered legs, and sometimes has five toes. It comes in a huge variety of colors...
I have chicks for sale in Atlanta GA. Dark chocolate/speckled and green egg layers chicks available. These are straight run, $15 each. (meaning I don’t know if they are hens or roosters). These chicks are the offspring of a Lavender Marans rooster (Dark chocolate layer) and dark/speckled or blue...
I love my new chickens! Six hens — 3 Buff Orpington and 3 Dominique. A few of them just started laying. One of the Orpies lays beautiful green eggs which threw me for a loop! Was doing research and found this group which confirmed my suspicions about having an BOxEE. She also looks really...
Ok, I've seen this thread a million times, I'm sure you're all sick of seeing it :lol: but I can't seem to find what I'm looking for.
I did a lot of research before purchasing my chicks from a very nice breeder that was quite a drive for me. She was listed on the ABC breeder directory, though I...
I'm not a chicken geneticist or breeding for anything in particular, just a curious hobbyist ... I hope I'm posting in the right forum :oops:
I have a few cream legbar eggs due to hatch anyday. I was thinking about the beautiful blue eggs I might get someday, when it struck me; I've hatched a...
Gorgeous baby chicks for sale. 1 week old. Mother hens are Easter eggers, olive easter eggers, and Ameracanas. Rooster is Black jersey giant. I'm hoping these chicks have deeper blue and deeper green large eggs with this cross. I’ll take back any that become roosters. #babychicks #greeneggs...
On one side we have the ultra-rare breed whose name is the Isbar, known as the only purebred and single comb chicken that lays green eggs on earth.
On the other side we have Olive Eggers, known to most people as Rooster Marans x Ameraucana hen hybrids (though there are other cross varieties...
We have some Rouens that are laying really well right now. According to Metzer, Rouens lay about 35% blue/green eggs, and we are getting about that from our five hens. But my husband and I want to know:
Do some ducks lay all blue eggs or do all ducks lay some blue eggs? :) For example, if you...
