Welcome! I've learned so much here, you will too!

www.sunnysideupranch.com is in Norco. I got a lavender ameracana not long ago, and a black one previously. Her prices are reasonable. That being said, when you have more lavenders, I want one!! Or more!!

Are these pics decent enough and chicks old enough to tell? 7 wks, both sup posed to be pullets, suspicious of the redder comb. 1st 3 pics poss roo, last for comparison..

Pretty eggs! Hey, is that spiral do-hicky made for eggs, or something else, like potatoes? I'd love one! Where could I find it?

I, too, had one pullet that showed signs of laying first, but never did. I crawled under all their favorite bushes, raked through leaves...finally I kept them locked up in the run on Mon, and low-and-behold, here was a foreign brown egg (my 2 laying were easter eggers). That day I had a blue, a...

Is it possible they're laying and hiding their eggs? Nine months seems pretty old to not be laying.

I have 3 pullets old enough to lay. 2 are EE and I've seen both in the nesting boxes. The other is a speckled sussex, never seen her try to lay. But a couple of eggs are either dark green or brown. I've recv light blue, green and either dark green or brown. I think all coming from the ee...what...
