not a breed but a heinz 57 of many phenotypes with exceptionally well
marketed eggs which are frequently fertile so lots of folks have been
hatching them :~)). They have since been marketing the birds as a breed to
the unsuspecting.
>What colour are the eggshells?
you name it you can probably get it - they have many breed influences so you
can get
aqua, white, tinted, olive, khaki, pale blue, pale brown, and all points in
between.
If you want the pure breed that this is very very distantly related to the
above.
you are looking for the Cream Legbar - good ones are VERY hard to find
There are one or two good breeders but small numbers of birds.
They should lay a blue egg due to the influence of the Araucana many moons
ago.
