I would like to also hear other opinions on this. I have a small coop that I keep roos in til they start fussing then I trade them out with a local guy in my area that gives 2 chicks per roo.

Wow, I love your egg colors!! I have been hatching EE's for months now, I can not wait til they start to lay so I can see the colors every day! I have a Blue Am Roo over my flocks of Blue Orpingtons, Welsummers, Silver Laced Wyandottes, Gold Laced Wyandottes, Barred Rocks, and my White Leghorns...

6 eggs today
