    What breed am I?

    We got this pullett last fall from Meyer’s Hatchery as a part of the rainbow pack. I have never been able to figure out her breed. She has scattered black spots on her back and bottom of her tail. She was all yellow with one black spot on her back when she was a baby. She lays very light, almost...

    First Blue Egg

    We got our 1st blue egg this morning! We are so excited! We have an Easter Egger & a Crested Cream Legbar and one I think is a Lakeshore Egger, so it could have been any of them.

    First Eggs

    No they are 3 different mixed breeds. Here is a picture of them from a few months ago. I suspect it is from the smallest black chicken, but that is just an assumption.
