I think an egg is an egg Ollie!  I may be wrong, but I believe many people buy the hens that different colours, just so they look nice in the box.  Quite fancy some blue eggs myself!!!!

Post a picture of the green egg laying hen and her green egg (shade is important) .  There's a lot of members here who may be able to identify her.

Maybe they used them for baiting a larsen trap if the magpies or crows were raiding the pheasant or  partridge pens.

I have a couple of young CL hybrids anxiously awaiting first eggs over Easter - anyhoo - they each sport a CL tuft and have about 80% chance of blue eggs, the others would lay tints, either way I'm happy. I hazard a guess that ALs birds are CL hybrids, they are getting popular. One of my pure bred CLs laid greenish eggs over the winter but now they both lay identical blue ones again.

hi heard that a cream legbar crossed with a moran is likley to produce a green egg. So maybe it's that?

Green eggs? That's not a chicken, it's an alien

Green eggs and ham
