“I got a Cuckoo Bluebar last year. Yes, she lays blue eggs but they most definitely are not large. And she is nuts, can’t get near her and if you do get close she screams and takes off running”
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us! We’re so glad to hear she’s laying those beautiful blue eggs, though we completely understand the disappointment when they’re not quite the size you were expecting. Since she’s still a young layer, there’s a good chance her eggs may increase in size as she matures.
Cuckoo Bluebar Blue-Eggers are generally known for being friendly, but just like people, every chicken has her own unique personality and temperament. It sounds like she’s definitely got a personality of her own! We hope that, with a little more time and maturity, she’ll grow into the friendly girl you were hoping for.
We’re always here to support you and your flock, so please don’t hesitate to reach out to our Flock Care team if you have any questions along the way. We’re happy to help!
Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re delighted to hear your Cuckoo Bluebar Blue-Egger chicks arrived safe and healthy, even with a December delivery to Boston. We really appreciate your feedback and are glad you’re happy with your order!
“We have had our 7 girls for about 11mos. They are our first chickens. 1 did pass within the first week, she seemed a little off; so we are guessing nature took its course. Very sad, but that’s how it goes sometimes. I’m not sure why are girls are so different then most of the reviews, but I still love them. They were all very skittish from the start, very independent and smarter than expected. They have very much remained that way. Food can motivate a few, and only one I would consider friendly. They are not aggressive towards people, but fight amongst themselves a lot. Pecking order changes constantly and suddenly sometimes (molting), the weakest is singled out and one was left for dead a couple of months ago. Gratefully I separated her and nursed her back to health. They are excellent egg layers! I love my assortment of blues and pinks. We were getting 7 a day up until molting. It’s been an incredible journey!”
Welcome to the exciting and often, drama filled, life with chickens! Within each breed, we have to also give some grace for the unique personalities that develop wtihin the flock and that pecking order... it changes frequently. Molting makes most birds very irritated as the pin feathers grow back in and we can certainly understand why they may not want to be handled during that prickly process but take heart, it sounds like your flock is behaving just as nature intended! We hope you continue to enjoy the beautiful egg basket!
“Beautiful and friendly girl. Instantly became one of my favorites! One of 3 healthy day old chicks we received on 4/30/2025. All 3 chicks easily integrated into our small existing flock. We are still eagerly waiting for our first egg from our new ladies, and hope to get one soon!”
Thank you so much for sharing! We’re thrilled to hear your Cuckoo Bluebar Blue-Egger has become a favorite—they do have such a fun, friendly personality! It’s wonderful that all of your chicks settled in so well with your existing flock. We hope those first beautiful eggs arrive very soon—you’ll have a lot of happy egg-collecting ahead!
Thank you for your review Celeste! Cuckoo Bluebar Blue-Eggers really do tend to be sweet girls! They are such a joy—they’re friendly, curious, and full of personality. Plus, they’re amazing layers of large, light blue eggs, and that gorgeous barred blue plumage makes them stand out in any flock!
