The Carpet City Bantam Show is Nov. 24th, isn't it? Anyone going from this thread? That is only an hour from me so I may be able to make it, barring unforeseen complications.

We picked up a trio of Blacks at Lucasvile this weekend for our son. He can't leave them alone lol. My question is how well do they lay?

Okay some baby pics. The first group is 2-3 days old. The second group is coming up on 3 weeks...Any input would be appreciated. Im still unsure on the color of the light, whitish ones. As of now, they appear to be just...white.

Chick #1- light whitish color




Chick #2- Lavender I think




Chick #3- Black




Chick #4- a runty Lavender I think






Chick #5- another Lavender I think




Gabby Douglas (these next few names are what happens when you let 9 and 11 year olds name the birds)

that depends a lot on the individual bird with these. many of them will lay and eggs a day or at least every other day from about Feb - Oct for me. Baring when they go broody of course. Then you get some that will lay 15-20 and stop a month but that's usually in the rarer colors. My blacks are some of my most productive hens. usually get 80- 100 eggs a year on average from each hen. Time will tell, you'll know pretty quick if you got heavy layers or not

looks like you have them all labled right as far as I can tell from the pics

Wish I could get down that way, Might find a piece of that legendary pound cake I have heard about. Maybe next year things will work out and I can make it to one of them Dalton shows. If I could just win the lottery

Are the white tips on the toes of this one undesirable?
