Looking at what Meyer has and what I ordered, I’m thinking #14 may be Sapphire Jewels (I have to look exactly the same). The only other one that fits could be a white Plymouth rock, but since I ordered seven colored egg layers, and they guarantee at least three different breeds, I’m hoping for...
Any other thoughts? Meyer says they will include at least 3 different breeds/colors in their assortments so I should have a number of different brown and colored egg layers. I didn't include pics of the ones I'm sure are EE's.
These are all from Meyer, hatch date of 3/27. I have a bunch of EE's that I'm pretty sure I know which they are, but the others I'm not sure about.
#1 - Barred Rock? White spot on head
#2 BBS Ameraucana?
#3
#4
#5
#6
#7
I just picked up my order from Meyer at the Post Office this morning. Everyone looks good so far! I got a couple different assortments so will have to try to figure out what everyone is.
When I was in coastal SoCal, with my last flock, they started sleeping in the coop but then, when the weather was mild enough, they would sleep in the run. I had everything completely predator proofed, and finally gave up trying to get them to go into the coop at night. I had branches in the run...
I’m not sure, but wanted to comment that I had a salmon Favorelle that was not at all bright, and she had to talk constantly, all day, long, about anything and everything. We lived in the city then, and I ended up, rehoming her because she was just so noisy.
Has anyone used the layer pellets from Walton Feed? Their label is very limited, listing only protein, fat and fiber levels (along with the ingredient list). It’s very affordable and I think my grown children may use it for their flock, but I am concerned with the lack of information on using it...
This is why both my in-town coops have been elevated. If I didn't need that extra run space, I would definitely build a walk-in coop just to make it easier to clean and manage.
