Chicken Eggs

We also have a new hybrid to the farm called Cream Legbars. They are a cross between a Plymouth Barred Rock, a Golden Leghorn and an Araucana. It was developed in Great Britain as an auto sexing breed, the ability to easily distinguish between a cockerel and a hen as soon as they hatch.

Green Eggs-

Our green eggs are laid by a breed that we created on the farm. We crossed an Araucana Cockerel with a Copper Comet Hen. The genetics of the araucana which lays the blue egg crossed with the genetics of the Copper Comet which lays a dark brown egg creates a hen which lays an olive coloured egg. A lot of people refer to them as ‘Olive Eggers’. We’re calling ours the Hi-Oak Olives.

Our eggs are laid by our Araucana Hens. The Araucana on the farm originated from other members of the British Araucana club. We keep all the best birds in small breeding flocks of up to 10 hens with one cock. We hatch all our stock on the farm for each new season. The best birds are kept to improve the breed standard and other birds go into our laying flock for their lovely blue eggs.
