They say the color is blue, but Araucana, or Easter Eggers, look greenish blue to me. One of my girls actually does lay a green egg as you can see in the pic.

Color depends on what you feed them...right?

Color depends on what you feed them...right? I have heard people claim that white eggs aren't really white, they were bleached. Not true!

You're welcome to come in and chat with us any night you feel like it.. My day with MUTTs & JD generally ends about 10- 11 CST I post my blog and go for so,me chat with friends.... I would have never believed the green eggs without chemistry comionmg into play.... Genetics won this one for You! I may have to surprise JD's mom with some of those chicks next spring! I like to slip some geese in there too! I'm sure you have heard of Murray McMurray Hatchery in Iowa, they have the Ameraucana and Blue Ameraucana (< beautiful birds) breeds which is from a cross of the Araucana chicken, but don't know what other bird they were crossed with. They also lay blue/green eggs. I've gotten some beautiful birds from that hatchery, oh, and they also have geese! I plan on getting a couple next year, just not sure which breed of goose I want.

Oh..... geese! Oven-fresh roast goose with red apple cabbage and dumplings at Christmas is a tradition in Germany like your turkey at Thanksgiving. I am wondering that I never find fresh or frozen goose meat over here. Lots of turkeys instead. LOL Those that end up on the dining table come from local farms or are imported from Poland. A goose is a goose, haven't heard of different breeds! like JD's mom's chickens. It is not easy to get the red cabbage for Christmas for much of the holiday fare . ALSO the Polish Smoked oysters from the cold Baltic waters.... Several breeds of geese white, Grey, and multi-colored in between.

A goose is a goose, haven't heard of different breeds! I had a friend who raised turkeys until she was attacked by her Tom turkey. He did quite a bit of damage to her leg. And I thought my roosters were bad! Oh, she said he made a great feast for Thanksgiving Day, LOL.

My Mom had Toulouse geese, but there are also African geese, brown and white Chinese geese, Buff geese, Pilgrim geese, and Roman geese to name a few. Oh forgot Canadian geese, but those aren't domesticated. I had a friend who raised turkeys until she was attacked by her Tom turkey. He did quite a bit of damage to her leg.

All the breeds you mentioned, Nile, did not make it to Germany. LOL Ours were as white as snow! Wild geese crossed over but did not settle down and did not end up in the oven for dinner....
