CRESTED PERIDOTS

NO LONGER AVAILABLE

Crested Peridots are a Roberts Farm unique hybrid laying hen crossing Cream Legbar roosters with production White Only White Leghorn hens. Hybrid vigor (the crossing of two pure breeds) results in increased health, vigor, and production and we expect great things from these ladies. Such crosses are traditional called “Sapphires,” but we expect ours to lay a Peridot (greenish) egg as their mothers currently lay turquois/green eggs. This particular cross can visually be sexed at 15 days of age and have, thus far, shown excellent health and soundness.

 Hatchlings Since 2014: 118

ROBERTS FARM

Cream Legbars were added to our farm as a novelty item in the early Spring of 2017. White Leghorn pullets were added later during that summer. Peridots are experimental as we're interested to see what and how well they produce.
 

HATCHING EGGS

Hatching eggs will become available in the Spring of 2018.
