    I have an incubator with a bad first attempt last year. Getting ready with second attempt this year. I would be an advocate if your incubator lives up to the hype with a third batch to compare to my current incubator.

    How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

    Evidently my hens have formed a workers union and currently are on production strike. Wanting better living conditions and more black sunflower seeds. They also complained about the roosters not really contributing. I’ve tried talking to them but I’ve gotten no where. Any advice would be...

    What Causes Speckling on Eggs?

    Welsummers lay speckled eggs. And freshly laid can wipe or scratch off. You can scratch lines in a regular brown egg when freshly laid. I have had some welsummer/ameraucana crosses. My current hen from this cross lays solid green eggs but has laid one green egg with brown speckles. My first of...

    Anyone achieve a blue speckled egg layer? Green speckled? gold?

    Yeah I almost got into aruacanas, joined an association of breeders. But a little too expensive and such a high death rate for hatching eggs. Also a lot of breeders I found didn’t want to sell eggs. Just focusing on unique egg color at this point along with keeping a line of blue eggs as well.

    Anyone achieve a blue speckled egg layer? Green speckled? gold?

    Yeah I have since looked up the breed and seen that some, anyhow had the spots. I started thinking these were the Isbar. Yeah wouldn’t mind tapping into some of that blood line. Gonna have to do further research on it. Just playing around with the blue and speckles now. Just assumed they would...

    Anyone achieve a blue speckled egg layer? Green speckled? gold?

    Yeah, the one on very top looks to be blue with brown spots. Not familiar with silverudds blue. I’m using welsummers for my speckles. So your not sure how the crosses were made just what breeds were used then I take it. Or is she 50/50?

    That blue with brown speckles is really cool. Do you know the background breeding to produce that hen?
