Reviews by Queen of the chickens

I have been breeding my own version of these birds by crossing both Silver Laced Wyandottes and Black Australorp Roos with my Wheaten EE hens. I end up with these gorgeous blue birds or blue laced white birds. They are so pretty. I even ended up with a rumpless roo during one cross. My EEs lay a light green egg. My Olive Eggers lay a really pretty Khaki green egg, not as dark as some I have seen, but still pretty.

We purchased this last fall to use in our smaller coop. It worked well for us. I found it a little cumbersome to handle when full (3 gallons is about 24lbs. - I think.) and it is hard to balance on it's top to fill from the bottom. As long as it holds up to wear and tear, I am happy with this product.

I love these beauties. They are calm, sweet, and lay large brown eggs. They hardly take a day off.
