Tuzo 251 Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Leghorns lay plenty of white eggs no matter what colour the bird is so offer a good choice. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

darbo 4,776 Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 (edited) as mentioned leghorns also minorca, anacona lay white eggs. you can also get hybrid birds that lay white, blue and brown eggs.have a look on mantel farm website it will give you a idea of hybrids that lay different colour eggs.

bigbailey 90 Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 I had leghorns socks, used to lay some nice white eggs every day 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobcullen79 1,495 Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 Nope, but your paying for them to be reared and laying. It would prob cost you the same if you bought eggs and hatched them. Im pretty sure if you spent enough, he`d do you a deal, he did when I got the turkeys and ross last august. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have never paid for poultry before but I don't know anybody with the breeds I want si I suppose I will have to dig deep ........ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobcullen79 1,495 Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 Thats it bud. Its only money. He does his own hybrid blue egg layer up there, maybe cheaper than the legbar. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
