Our Silverudd Blue line is one of the foundation flocks behind many of the colorful egg projects here at Clan Wallace Ranch. These beautiful birds are known for their naturally calm personalities, unique feather coloring, and their signature soft blue to blue-green eggs.
Our current breeding pair features a Splash Silverudd rooster over Blue Silverudd hens, creating beautiful genetic diversity and the potential for a variety of stunning offspring colors and patterns. This pairing may produce chicks in splash, blue, black, and other naturally varied feather expressions while maintaining the lovely blue egg genetics the breed is known for.
We are carefully selecting our Silverudd line for:
rich blue egg genetics
improved bloom and speckling potential
strong fertility and hatchability
hardy, productive homestead traits
beautiful feather patterns and type
friendly, curious temperaments
Unlike many commercial blue egg layers, Silverudd Blues bring a wonderful amount of natural variation and individuality to both their appearance and their egg baskets. Their eggs can range from soft powder blue and sea-glass tones to pale sage greens depending on pairing and bloom expression.
Our line may produce offspring with:
blue and blue-green egg genetics
soft sage and mint tones
occasional blooms and speckling
splash, blue, black, and mottled feather patterns
excellent future olive egger potential when crossed into our breeding projects
Silverudd Blues are one of our favorite breeds for developing artistic, naturally varied egg baskets while still maintaining practical homestead qualities. They are active foragers, reliable layers, and bring both beauty and utility to a flock.

Hatching Recommendations
For best results, we recommend:
Letting eggs rest pointy-end down for several hours after pickup
Setting eggs within 7 days when possible
Incubating chicken eggs at about 99.5°F in a forced-air incubator
Keeping humidity around 35–45% during incubation, adjusting based on air cell growth
Increasing humidity to around 60–70% at lockdown
Locking down on day 18
Expecting hatch around day 21
We strongly recommend using a calibrated thermometer and hygrometer, even with a high-quality incubator. Small temperature differences can make a big difference in hatch success.
