Good morning!
Sitting here on the 3rd of December, with the front and back doors open; it's 62*! Looks like it will be warm pretty much all week, then the bottom falls out next Monday, when they are calling for snow and cold! No shocker, it does happen every year, but I am enjoying the warm while I can!
Kim, Yes, Charlotte and Olivia both have dark eyes, and the dark face. I already got the one chick, Kiwi, from Olivia, same dark face and the deformed coxcyx (sp?) tail bone with the down pointing tail. So, both will probably just be layers here too. I believe they were both out of the GFF hens. Like you said, live and learn. So then that will leave me with 5 possible breeding hens, once the blue girl Gabby, and Wheatie Pie grow up. Then to get more Wheaten eggs and possibly an older roo for Wheatie, so I don't have to wait forever for the eggs to grow out. I'd be interested in seeing your friend's Wheaten eggs, and birds too! Here I go again....
Will post photos of her eggs if she has any. She has a ton of them the last time I was there, but she gives them to the church she lives next to, so I will call her this morning and ask if she will save some. I was surprised at the egg color, too bad the eggs are bullet shaped.
