ILoveLayers I would keep the old hens till the new ones start laying so u dont have to buy store eggs
!!! That and the young will learn from the old.
Agreed. I've been watching my little ones with the hens and they're teaching them how to be....well....a chicken.
I have a Golden Cuckoo Marans but she lays a light brown egg. I'm guessing she has to be mixed with a flair of something else, but my eye can't see what. I love Marans though. You'll definitely have a colorful basket!
This hen has 1 copy dominant white . So yes hybrids could make a difference if they have 1 copy dominant white . If they have specs of color then 1 copy .
Very, very, very handsome rooster you have there.....
WARNING...BIG RANT UP AHEAD.........................
Being a retired police officer and an wildlife advocate for well over 20 years, and having worked with the DNR in one way or another over my entire career, I do not hold them in very high regard. Not because the actual wardens are good or bad because there are both in the profession, but because no matter what , they all have to follow the same rules regardless of how they feel, or they lose their job. Most do what their told - not what is ethically right. Look what they did to the Bison calf in Yellowstone....mistake one was of course the visitors picking the calf up and bringing it to the DNR - ( they should have left nature to itself as everyone here is saying). The DNR could have taken it to a zoo, brought it to a wildlife rehab or even given it to a Bison Farm....but no, they fined the visitors and euthanized the calf because those are the rules. In my educated opinion, they will take the eggs, fine the person who took them and then destroy the eggs whether or not it is illegal, immoral or just plain unethical to do so.....those are the rules of the big wide world of the DNR. ....END of RANT.
Good morning everyone....it's a beautiful day here up on the North shore
I was just reading about that bison calf yesterday. So unfortunate....
My babies are getting big!! I tried getting pictures of both Legbars but the one is a little goofy. LOL they are beautiful birds!!
ETA: These pics are nearly a week old so they have grown alot! And Luckys head is ALL Golden/Copper colored!
What a handsome little dude!
but not a chicken...my luck I would wind up a broiler !!! no...more like an eagle or something wickedly cool like that LOL! (not that chickens aren't cool...cuz they are)
