If they are younger the eggs should get bigger in size. I do have one that lays Medium. My birds are now 2 years. I'll not buy Azures again. They have great layer feed along with oyster shells but the shell quality from 2 of the 4 is very poor. That coupled with the crazy attitude they have...

Wild guess she could be an Easter eager if sorts. Does she have a comb? she is an attractive bird.

I have 4 that were bought from Freys, grown out to pullet’s and resold. They look like Leghorns with brown, black or slate spots. I also have 2 brown sex links. The Azures are very flighty and spooky. The shells are a pale blue. At least 2 of them have low quality shells. I personally wouldn’t...

Hot Cross Buns! Mmm! I don’t use the British white flour crosse, I use frosting. I used currents and raisins.

Congratulations! I find them quite flighty! I also find the shell quality and egg production has dwindled as they have aged comparing to my Bovin Browns of the same age.

Well even though the tips of my garlic leaves yellowed earlier in the season I’m very happy with the bar so far. Some of you may remember I planted over 100 cloves of the hard neck porcelain MUSIC variety. We have had a miserable summer started with very hot and dry then cold and dry then over 9...

I really hate raccoons.

I use these DOG PROOF TRAPS! Put corn or dry dog food in the bottom under the trigger. Make sure you stake it down. Put a white golf ball over the trap,it helps you see/check the trap from a distance. I highly recommend you buy the set tool because the spring is strong while setting with the set...
