Our current rainbow layers include Lavender Ameraucana, Frizzled Lavender Ameraucana, Olive Egger, Blue Maran, Black Copper Maran, Cuckoo Maran, and Crele Crested Legbar. We enjoy a beautiful variety of colored, speckled, and heavy bloom eggs from our birds. Our hens are covered by Black Copper Maran, Blue Maran, and Olive Egger roosters & sometimes there is a back up Legbar or Ameraucana roo in the mix.
We also have a Lavender Ameraucana breeding house that is covered by a lovely and very sweet natured frizzled LA roo. We anticipate adding pure LA eggs to our order form soon. *I am TOTALLY in love with the large breed frizzles, so I am considering adding a few of the rainbow ladies to his house for a while. These eggs will be marked as 'FC' if included in your egg order to denote frizzle covered. PLEASE NOTE
We do not breed our rainbow layers for exact duplication of a bird that will lay an egg that looks like what it hatched from. It is important to me, that my layers get to roam around their yard. This is why I do not guarantee specific egg colors. To do that, I would either have to pen my birds up all the time, or limit the colors that I DO produce- and what fun would that be????? Here are some basic color possibilities-if a blue egg layer is covered by a maran, and that egg hatches as a hen, she will likely lay a green egg (F1 Olive Egger.) If a pale green layer is covered by a maran, and hatches as a hen she will likely lay a darker green or olive colored egg, but if that same hen is covered by a leghorn and that egg hatches as a hen, she may lay a spearmint colored green egg. I do not have white egg producers in my flock, so this helps to avoid color dilution, however, it is not impossible for a white egg layer to be produced when an Olive Egger is covering another Olive Egger. *Speckles and heavy blooms are also a possibility from my hatching eggs, but are not guaranteed. |
