Hello,
I have a small flock of spoiled chickens – 5 hens and a Roo. This is probably pretty silly but…. I’d like to get a few more hens to round out my egg colors J We get a green, blue, and a few shades of light/med brown. I’ve decided that I need an Olive Egger for the dark olive eggs, a Black Copper Maran for the deep choc brown color, and I haven’t decided on a white egg layer yet – I want a friendly one, I don’t really care what breed as long as she’s friendly. I’ve also been looking into the Welsummer breed for speckled eggs but it looks like those are kind of hit and miss as some will lay brown and some will lay speckled, but you won’t know until they start laying so I may need to buy an adult hen? What do you all think?
