funny story.

Anxiously waiting for my CL to start laying... How old do they typically start?

I think that people on this thread have been saying about 20-22 weeks.  How old are yours?

I put three fertile Isbar eggs under my first cream Legbar broody tonight. She's been on the nest for almost three days. I think she is serious. Picture tomorrow.

Sheriff, You've got some great broodies.  None of mine have been interested since June!

I moved my Isbars and CL from a growout pen to a coop today.  I thought I'd post a picture of my white girl.  She has some serious crest going!

The difference between breakfast and chicks, is the temperature you use to "cook" the eggs!

 

What breeds do I have?  More than any sane person would own.

Also I posted this bowl of eggs earlier today.  The photo was taken on auto shoot.   My hens are laying a beautiful powder blue or some say sky blue egg.  There  are some contrasting colors in the photo that pop the blue up a tad.  There's the dark Welsummer and Cuckoo Maran eggs below, the bluish grey tones in the bowl, the weathered grey tone wood, and the dark green blackberry brambles below.  Thanks for the compliments, but I'm guessing my eggs are mostly similar to others.  I looked at blackbirds13 eggs and I'm thinking they're close to what mine would look like in an incubator.  The blue of the cream legbar eggs is so elusive to photo, but oh so pretty!

Yes, she looks great, but I think she's styling her hair at night!
