My one and only Shetland laid an egg today after her near death experience. We can't eat her eggs for another 10 days or so. So George, what colour eggs will the hens lay, if they're crosses??

I'll let you know about October time obviously the 2 true shetlands should lay green (providing they're not boys of course ) Back to top jooles Joined: 24 Sep 2005 Posts: 668 Location: Bedfordshire, but craving to live in Cornwall Posted: Mon May 08, 2006 11:03 am    Post subject: awww cute baby chicks Back to top George Joined: 14 Apr 2005 Posts: 5661 Location: London Posted: Mon May 08, 2006 1:11 pm    Post subject: Back to top NannyP Joined: 13 Apr 2005 Posts: 11631 Location: 86310 Nr St Savin Posted: Mon May 08, 2006 3:26 pm    Post subject: Middle two look like pure Shetlands, bottom two look like mixed ??
