She picks on the poor Barnevelder! I love her, but she's...demanding, haha.
The BCM is laying progressively darker eggs. She has the funniest egg cackle; it's delightful.
Thank you! The Maran's eggs are getting darker with each egg. The first one was pretty light, but speckled with darker flecks. I'm hoping she evens out to that nice, chocolate brown I've seen from other Marans.
I got a Buff Orpington who's the bossiest chicken I've ever met, a Blue Copper Maran who started laying just a few days ago, a Barnevelder, and a Jersey Giant! They are a colorful flock!
His or her wattles budded early at about 8 weeks, but development of them stalled until just a week or so ago. Does anyone have an opinion on whether this is Henri or Henrietta?
Hi, I'm Alex!
I've been around agriculture my whole life, but didn't start with chickens until about eight weeks ago!
I have a flock of five: a Buff Orpington, a Blue Copper Maran, a Barnevelder, a Jersey Giant, and a Blue Laced Red Wyandotte. They came home at one day old, and will be my egg...
