We have been waiting for Henreitta or one of her chicklets to lay an egg. We were expecting it to happen any day not but we were not expecting it to be BLUE. Out of the 9 chicklets there are 5 roosters. Lance(aka Lace before the sex change lol), Incredible Hulk, The Lone Ranger and Tonto oh and Featherless. Now it seems ourchickets are Araucanas and or Americanas. (Unless someone can tell us something different . Only Lance is a Bantam the others are full size roosters, which we will have to sell at least 4 of them.

I was so excited because I wanted chickens that laid blue eggs when we got the chickents but after the flue scare and all the chickens were gassed they were at a premium so didnt get any.
i have never heard of blue eggs - are they considered special? are there only certain types of chickens that lay them? for a farm girl i sure don't know much about chickens even tho' my gramma had them when I was little; i never recall any blue eggs tho'.....educate me...;o) joan
Hi Joan
Well blue eggs are not considered rare but I so think they are special. There is a certain breed of chicken that i think are from South American, name is something like this, Americunas. They are hard to breed so another breed called Americana was started. Regular chickens were bread with the original breed. They are often called Easter egg chickens because the eggs can be blue, green or even mauve. We bought the mother hen and chicks at the auction so really knew nothing about them. So yes i think they are special :)
