That would be fantastic! Can wait to see what they lay for you!

I was thinking grey or maybe even plum, but I don't really know. Would love to see if others have done this cross.

If I have a hen that consistently lays pink colored eggs and I breed her to my olive egger then what colored eggs would the offspring most likely have? Thanks!

Thank you so much! I will reach out to them both!

Last egg on the left is the X hens eggs and the egg just to the right of it is my Jersey Giant hen’s egg. Cream colored Ayam Cemani egg at the far right for comparison.

They are excellent hens! Their eggs are as large as my Jersey Giant’s eggs and the egg color is a beautiful deep mauve pink. I love them!

Here is the hen.

Here is a picture of the male at around 6 to 7 months old. I will see what pictures I have of the hens.

Thank you!

Hi, I was told by another member on BYC to post my listing here... so hopefully someone has this breed! I am looking for Heritage RIRs. I would prefer hatching eggs that can either be shipped or I can meet someone here in Texas. I really want high quality with the deep red coloring. This will...

Hi, I am looking to purchase Heritage Rhode Island Red hatching eggs from a show quality breeder. I want to hatch the eggs for my new father-in-law, so that I can surprise him with chicks for Christmas this year! He has been wanting the dark colored heritage RIRs forever! He adores his current...

That is interesting to me because all these permaculture folks keep talking about how their chickens take care of the cow patties and mine don’t go near them. Joel Salatin also has written about his chickens spreading the cow manure and said his chickens won’t touch manure from vaccinated cattle...

Yeah it is weird for sure. It has me stumped! I’m thinking you may be right about them being a cross with a silver variety.

I received these when they were very little and I was told they were black Copper Marans... obviously I was lied to but what are these young fellows? My guess is Birchen but not 100%.
