    Blue eggs

    Thanks. I think this upcoming spring I will get a couple of Cream legbar pullets, a couple of these Prairie bluebell pullets, and perhaps the super blue eggers. I am also thinking of getting 2 midnight Marans. Of course that means I have to cull my current flock.

    The chickens are shaken and so am I

    Glad you chickens are ok. You were lucky!! I had 2 taken a couple of months ago. One was an extra Rooster. Everyone learned a lot from the attack. The chickens are more wary now, and I have witnessed them fending off another attack. Haven't seen the hawk since. If you free range, you have...

    Blue eggs

    here is a picture of his comb. Not a pea comb, it hangs over his one eye!! I planned on breeding him to my non ee hens, to see if any of the pullets produced green eggs to verify if he had the blue egg gene, but it would be easier to get a blue egg rooster and save a step. Keep my population...

    Blue eggs

    I had 8 roostes out of the initial 24 birds, I am down to 3. One keeps attacking my wife, so he will be soup soon!!! One is ee X isa brown, so he is the only one with a chance of having the blue egg gene. In the spring, i want to get a couple copper marans, and cream legbar pullets. I have 16...

    Blue eggs

    So which breed lays the brightest blue eggs, and which breed lays the largest blue eggs???? I got 6 Easter eggers from fleet farm this spring, they are all laying green eggs. I like and wanted some green eggs, but I also want Blue eggs. The plan for the spring is to add half a dozen pullets...

    Are these EE Rooster X ISA Brown Hen Pullets or Cockerels???

    yep I also have 2 saphire gem roosters.. They are way bigger, ready to eat. Plus I want the potential blue egg gene. One of the 2 gets spared.. so out of the original 22 chickens, that makes 8 roosters. I bought 12 as pullets!!!!

    Are these EE Rooster X ISA Brown Hen Pullets or Cockerels???

    A friend gave me a couple of eggs to hatch. They hatched may 24, so they are 14 weeks old. I've gone back and forth on these 2 several times. I suspect cockerel, but EE have such varied DNA that I'm not sure. Also the ISA Brown hens have such large combs and wattles that I couldn't believe...

    California Tan, Pullets or Cockerels???

    Mine are now also 12 weeks old. they look exactly like yours in the photo. The one I was worried about, grew the big comb and wattles and walks upright, and is getting aggressive with the other 2 confirmed roosters I have left. I was reading on one of the hatchery sites, that the sex link is...
