If you're looking for unique chickens that lay beautiful eggs, you've come to the right place!
I will be taking better photos of my eggs this weekend - but here are photos showing the different shades coming from my chickens.
This year, I have 2 breeding pens set up. The first is...
The chicks with yellow spots on top of their heads are the males and the chicks without a headspot are female.

Male chicks will hatch blue or black with a yellow dot on their heads (and will be barred as adults), females will hatch solid blue or black...
