I'm not sure that they are the ones that Aggy is referring to or not.

I tell you what though, whilst trying to find them, I came across a site thats charging in excess of Â£20 for POL hybrid blue egg layers. I must be in the wrong business. :shock: :shock: :shock:

Because they are hybrids, they almost certainly wont breed on, so you you're are not even purchasing foundation stock.

prices have gone silly. we paid Â£6 for blue laying cream legbars a few months back. people are now quoting Â£25 each.

just wondering whats going to happen, if a lot of these new keepers decide its not for them when its not trendy anymore.

Got it!!!! But I don't think there are them. The eggs I've got are blue!!........so Babe, you may be right!!

Be nice to actually see what they turn into

Was looking at these again today and wondering how yours got on, did they hatch or are they due to hatch any day now? Would be interesting to see how you got on.
