Hi - I went to the National this year to check out the Araucana eggs expecting them to be bluer than my Cream Legbar eggs, but there didn't seem to be any nice blue ones there at all this year - was it a bad year for the egg show?

This is a photo of some of my Cream Legbar Eggs together with an Olive Egger's

araucanas can lay eggs ranging from just tinted blue through grey to a really nice blue according to the araucana egg chart and is the same with any breed of bird - it all comes down to the particular strain. Your blue legbar blue appear to be a pretty normal blue which of course they get from the araucana gene that they carry. The main difference being that the blue with an araucana egg is all the way through the shell whereas the legbars are generally white inside (not including the membrane of course). However once you crack them open how many people remove the membrane and inspect the inside of the shells?? not me thats for certain - too busy either cooking with the eggs or eating them lol!!
