Green EGGs!

I've had brown, blue and white egg laying hens but never a green one! With my roo carrying the blue gene over a hen carrying the brown gene, you get a GREEN egg! They are SO pretty! Found one two nights ago on the ground of the run and then another yesterday just outside the coop. Since they're both the same color, I believe it's from the same girl so hopefully this will kick start the rest of this group to start laying too. I can't wait to have lots of eggs again and my egg customers will be glad to be able to have their farm fresh, free range eggs again too!


Oh, and I put the "middle" kids in the hen house last night for the first time. Everything went fine, they've been spending their days in there by choice as it is so everyone seemed good with it!

  1. That is so cool! I had to sell my Ameraucanas right before they began to lay...so I never got to see blue eggs, but I never got to keep an EE after it started to lay so I never got to see the "easter" colored eggs, either. Very pretty!
