thanks -- i am missing her sweet temperament, as is Daisy, the australorp who she totally looked after -- but also delighted with the new sussex pullets (6-7 weeks old?), who look an awful lot like her, AND the new teeny babies today!  

 

and your chicken photos are great!  at some point i'll need to get my old DSLR back from my mom, as it's very hit-and-miss trying to shoot film of the girls, they move so fast!  

 

best,

and cats sophie, henry, and pearl, of course!

What happens if you cross a pink egg layer with a blue egg layer?

not entirely sure what you mean by open air?  mine is a 4x8' mostly-enclosed (but lots of venting) henhouse within an 8x12' wire mesh-enclosed run -- elevation is 1625' on Sonoma Mtn, between the Sonoma Valley to the east & 101 corridor to the west...

and cats sophie, henry, and pearl, of course!

haha lol. I was wondering because a blue egg x brown egg layer = olive egger. So what must a pink layer + blue layer = x? Pink and blue make lavender on the color wheel...but I am completely ignorant when it comes to the science of breeding.

I've got a hoop coop with a tarp over one end. We're at about 800 feet, so it hardly ever freezes here. All the birds really need is a place to get out of the rain & a good windbreak.
