Has Rudy laid an egg yet? If so was it green. My RIR/EE mix lays a beautiful sea foam green egg almost every day, even thru the winter. She has probabaly laid 300+ eggs in the last year.

Wow that's a lot of eggs! No Rudy isn't a hen. But I've about 6 that are from an EE roo and other breeds of hens. Only a couple are EE/EE.I'd like a Lot of blue/green eggs.

I have 3 adult hens- Olive my RIR/EE, Rosie a RIR, and Monique a BR. Olive lays 3X the eggs as the other 2 together. I have 13 six week olds and hope to have enough eggs to share w/my daughters come May.

ok. So you're pretty sure that the chicks will either come out all black or all white? I was hoping they'd be really cool looking, Oh well

 

[ZoeysBirds]

Depends on if the White Rock hen is dominant or recessive:
Dominant will give you all white chicks.
Recessive will give you all black chicks.
My experience with White Rocks though is that they cover up barring and you get some that will have " ghost" barring in the white chick

I was hoping they'd come out really cool looking. Oh well. I guess we'll see. 6 more days til hatch day

Hard to tell really. I used the chicken color calculator to find that out.

I have 2 pullets that hatched May 5. One is a LO the other is a SWL. I had given up hope on getting eggs until winter was over, Checking eggs today I found that I have only one pullet. I don't know which one layed but there was a small brown egg instead of the green EE egg that I was expecting. All is good.
