“I not complaining, but warning others about this particular breed. When I purchased this breed in May of 2023 at the time they were called "Super Blue Eggers" and I paid $49.99 for a bird that I thought hey if they are calling it a Super Blue Egger she must be awesome and no doubt will be a good blue layer.
My hens from May are now laying and discovered she is laying WHITE eggs! I did contact my pet chicken yesterday and was told there is a 1/15 or 1/16 chance they will lay white eggs. My biggest actual problem is I paid $49.99 for her and the best they could do was give me $10.00 back to use on another order. I've ordered several times from them and will continue, but wanted to warn people about this.
Thanks for reading”
Denise, we are incredibly sorry that your Bountiful Blue does not lay blue eggs. With hybrid breeds such as this, there is always that chance, and we do discuss this in the description. If you want birds that will always be true to their egg color, it is best to order APA-recognized chicken breeds.
“Arrived happy and healthy! And boy is she sweet. My boy is smitten with her already! Can't wait to watch this little one grow, and give us beautiful blue eggs someday!”
It warms our hearts to know that she is already bringing joy and sweetness to your home. We can imagine how excited your boy must be, completely smitten with her! We hope that this adorable chick continues to bring happiness to your family as she grows. And yes, those beautiful blue eggs are something to look forward to! We are as excited as you are to see her flourish and eventually bless you with those gorgeous eggs.
“Ordered 6 female chicks total and 1 Super Blue egg layer. They all came alive and peeping the super blue egg layer was quite cute and fluffy yellow! Love them, thank you, into week 10 and all are alive and thriving!”
“Our hen Poppy falls in the 1/16 th that does not have a pea comb or lay a blue egg. She hatched May 2023. She is a beautiful bird with a great personality. I’ve used MPC 4 times. They take great care in shipping their birds. But I’ve tried to buy from them chicks that lay blue and keep getting green eggs. Crested cream legbar and lavender Ameracauna both layed green and now the bountiful blue lays off white. So my quest to add blue to my egg basket has been unsuccessful. I think I will have try somewhere else even though I really like this company. I will say my Wheaten Marans lays a dark egg as was expected she hatched in May last year. She is also gorgeous.”
Thank you for your feedback on our Bountiful Blue Egg Layer! We are sorry that she is not meeting your expectations. Our Bountiful Blue Egg Layer is best for providing a large number of eggs but may not have the most vivid, blue-colored eggs. Someone from our team has reached out to you!
“My beautiful Super Blue Egg Layer was born the third week of May, she has now just started laying eggs in the last two weeks. It took her a while, but what a surprise when she laid her first big PINK egg. I was really shocked. Her eggs are the most beautiful ballerina pink - almost like the inside of a sea shell. When I crack them open, the interior of the egg is even a bit more blush color. I have no clue what sort of genetics made this happen, but I feel so fortunate :) She is a sweetie!”
“My Tansy is 75days old today, and she’s a beautiful bird. She’s round, strong and stately in appearance, snowy white with light blue splashed feathers. A curious, friendly gal, she’s interested in anything either I or Ivy, the dog, are doing. She’s such a joy to have in the flock.”
“Lenore is the bully of my flock of 6, but she’s pretty. She was a little yellow floof as a baby, springing right out of the box when I opened it. She pecked my partridge Olive egger chicks’ eye in the first week, but she stopped after that, thank goodness. She’s not my biggest lady, but has grown into the bully of the flock. She will pick on my favorite ladies, causing a lot of upsets / squabbles & targeting others for no reason. She pulls out their feathers, charging them full speed from across the yard and cornering them. I had to separate her because of this, and have tried many solutions to keep her with her flock mates to no avail. She arrived 6/12, and started laying today 11/9. I am disappointed, because she laid a small white egg. I had a specific plan for my small flock and she was supposed to be a blue egg layer. I understand there is a 1/16th chance of non-blue eggs, but I’m wishing I got another breed at this point.. If I had known she was going to be a bully with white eggs I wouldn’t have got her. She is pretty though, and has all white feathers and little black flecks throughout, with puffy white cheeks. The second treats come out, she will shove past the flock and ATTACK my hand, I have to wear leather gloves just for her. She is mean to the other birds and picks on them, and isn’t very nice to me either. She gives me side eye, watching me work in the garden and squawks at me angrily. She is LOUD. I hear her squawk from multiple acres away. I am able to hold her, but she pecks my moles & freckles and has drawn blood from me and her flockmates. Now I have to build a whole second coop for *one* mean bird, & she lays white eggs.. not what I paid $40 for, but I am grateful for the healthy baby that was shipped safely & warm, and the eggs to feed my family, regardless of color. Deducted one star for being a bully, and one for laying white eggs instead of blue.”
Thank you, Makaela, for your review of our little Bountiful Blue Egg Layer chicks! We have sent you a separate communication with some hopefully some helpful information from our Frequently Asked Questions section regarding your hen's bullying behavior. When it comes to egg size and rates, there can be many factors that play into your flock's production to include environment such as the amount of daylight they are getting (this is especially true during the fall and winter months) as well as their feed and also, their age. Their first year of egg production often will produce eggs that are not as big but the next season, they are more to their expected medium size for this breed of chickens. The Bountiful Blue Egg Layers will be a prolific layer of large blue-tinted eggs as noted on the website and these higher production rates oftentimes can result in a lighter egg color as well. Genetics, along with other factors, can affect the coloring of a hen's eggs. When you crack open one of your hen's gifts, the base color should be blue inside the shell even if it appears white on the outside. We hope this is helpful in explaining about the coloring of your girl's eggs and we hope you will reach out to us if you have another other questions. My Pet Chicken is happy to help!
