Blue Egg Layer
Emerald
The Emerald is a replacement for the Skyline in 2020. The breeder is no longer supplying the Skyline, sorry.
They are predominantly pale grey to white in colour, often with black, grey or brown splashes. Their Araucana lineage means that most of these birds are "rumpless", meaning that they have no or very little tail. Some will also feature ear tuffs or beards, giving them a very noticeable and slightly comical appearance. The Sapphire hens have a 98% chance of laying a blue/green egg. Sapphires have a slight frame and are quite quick when young, but are also friendly birds with a gentle temperament and an inquisitive nature.
260 - 280 Blue Eggs / year
£26 each at point of lay
We can never guarantee 100% blue eggs, but our blue layers are genetically bred to produce blue eggs.
