Thank You, Ron. Great info to have!

Also, Flower, In the beginning I filled the trays with PDZ, and now I only freshen up with extra every 2-3 mos.

Hi Flower, I have poop trays under my roosts. They are 2' wide x 2" deep. The roosts are 18" above the tray, exactly across the center of the tray. I absolutely think this was one of the best, if not the best idea I have picked up while browsing BYC. I have 8 hens and 1 rooster and it takes...

Hi, Your girls are so very pretty! Mine have not entered their first molt, yet. They are 1 year this month, and still pretty dark. And, congratulations for Odette winning in the contest!

Ohhh, so cute. I haven't decided whether I am going to incubate this season. I have 2 ill horses, 1 with Lyme Disease and doing better and the other with EPM, a parasitic nervous system infection. Not doing so well. When it rains it pours!

Very good picture! They have really gotten lighter haven't they.

Welcome from your neighbor in Jasper

Thank you both for the info. I think I might try the True Blue Whiting when I can just buy 2-3 to start. Right now I have two different Spanish Breeds and a few EE's. Good luck with your birds, and I will check in occasionally to see how everyone is progressing.

I am interested in this breed and wondering if any of you have had them long enough to be able to judge their personalities. I am not knocking Leghorns at all, but have read and been told by owners that they can be very mean, to the point of cannibalistic.

Hi and Welcome from a close neighbor in Jasper

I am so sorry to hear of your loss of your mom which was enough to handle, but losing the eggs too, what a shame.

Ha Ha, I thought I wouldn't mind driving hours to get chickens, too. But...........it was the drive home that got to me. The forecast was for rain, so I drove my enclosed SUV instead of my pickup truck. Had the crate full of shavings, pdz, etc. My DH was with me, but he's not a chicken...

Hi Flowerbh, I am so glad that you understand the genetics. I think I understand when I am reading the formulas, but don't think I really comprehend, because as soon as I walk away, I have forgotten the formulas. I am into my family genealogy, and have submitted DNA from different members of...

Aww....Ron, I am so sorry to hear that. You had really been involved and studying the breed. You helped me a good deal in my pursuit of the Pita Pintas. Keep on keeping on with the advice, and suggestions, please!

Well.............we don't totally have a handle on these "Easter, Olive Eggers", do we? I guess that's the fun of the anticipation of; what color eggs will I get?

These olive eggers, easter eggers can really surprise. I was afraid that I would get brown eggs from this girl. She has yellow legs instead of the gray/slate. I have 1 blue egg easter egger, but she hasn't given me an egg for at least 2 mos.

Here ya go! One of the olives have a few speckles. She is my best layer, too, 4-5 a week.
