[CHICKENS-101] Re: Green egg layers, asils

 

Hi Carolyn, thanks for the reply. I've been breeding and raising several breeds of chickens for nearly 30 years. Mostly I raised and bred American Pit Games, creating two of my own unique strains that made me famous among the local cockers. I also had a few Asils for awhile and loved them and always wanted to get more.

The seller insists that he sent pure Asil eggs. I told him he probably doesn't have what he thinks he has and that he should make sure what he bought, 4 years ago, is pure Asil. I told him that I don't think it is and am not even going to set the eggs he sent me as I need to know they are "Pure" Asil. I told him, in my third message, to keep the money but check to see what he has. I told him to do some research on what breeds of chickens lay green tinted eggs to see if ANYONE lists Asils as being one of them. In his first message he said to set the eggs and see what hatched and If they weren't Asil he would refund my money. I told him I won't even set the eggs he sent. I haven't heard back from him yet. We'll see.

What breed or breeds of Oriental Game Chickens do you have?

I bought some eggs on Ebay that are supposed to be laid by pure Asils but two of them are light green tinted. I can't believe they don't have at least a little Araucana in them.
