My Olive Egger is my friendliest and most prolific layer...there are times when she lays 15 eggs in 16 days. I also think she is a very pretty bird too.
I have two hens about 14 months old and three pullets about 7 months of age and am getting about 4 and a half doz. eggs every two weeks. I think that is amazing.
+ 7 more eggs in my fridge....
First eggs are always so exciting...congrats and enjoy your "hens". Pullet eggs are smaller and I think they are considered hens after they are a year old...I could be mistaken but then why is there a term "pullet eggs" ?
Could the roo not be from a gold cuckoo marans and a blue or blue copper marans?
Not all marans have feathered legs, my black copper doesn't except for a few feathers and same for my blue copper.
