I really hope so! She’s gonna be a beautiful hen.

Couple better pics. Thanks!

Here they are

Pics coming soon. Having trouble getting them off my cloud 🤬

Hi guys. I was going to post on my original post on this subject but couldn’t find it. Not good at navigating this site. Ha. Anyways I posted a pick of a prairie bluebell egger I have. I was confused about the coloring as it is supposed to be pullet but it’s so pretty that I keep second...

+1 for the Ador1. We have used one for year and half with no problems. Simple to install and maintain. I would buy another if I needed one. Spike

Thanks for response. Home schooling mamma, this is the only post I made on this bird. Must be someone else? Unless I screwed it up somehow n posted twice? Lol. Which is always a possibility. 😁. But thanks. And you too chick enthusiasm. I’ll send pic of wing with the rusty patches that I...

Thirst didn’t post. Resend them. I’ll send better wing pics later tonight. Thanks in advance.

I’ll try to get better wing pics later as those ones are 3 days old and this chick changed a little since then. I’ll open his/her wings so the rusty patterns are more visible. Thanks ahead

Very pretty eggs! You must be proud of your girls. Sounds like you know what you are doing to get such diverse colors. We are new to raising chickens, but we are beginning to reap the rewards of raising our chicks. Our girls are around 22 weeks and we are getting 6-7 eggs a day. This from our 15...

Thanks for the tips! We’ll get rid of the rest of the pinestraw and try lessening the amount of shavings in theirs nestboxes and see if they take to them. We’re just excited they are starting to lay! Seems like a long time ago when they arrived as days old chicks

Thats great! We opened up our nestboxes a couple weeks ago, and right after doing so, about half the flock wouldn’t go in the coop at night! I noticed early the next day that they slept on the high roosts in the run. Next night they tried the same stunt so I had to chase them in before the auto...

Congrats! We know eggsactly how you feel, as we got our first eggs today. We found them outside in the run, and we don’t know which one of our 15 girls laid them. Can’t wait to see many more eggs in the future!! Spike
