    That branch, is that the perch they sleep on? If so, it's a bit on the narrow side.

    Quote: It indicative of Penedesenca blood in the mix, right? Nothing wrong with having a flock of awesome dark layers with every fault imaginable though.

    yello legs are recessive, so it takes some work to find the culprits and cull them. just like wheaten.

    I just realized i was typing Wellie but I meant Barnie. I always confuse those two.

    Yeah I think you're right about the color and I don't think it would make a difference whether the mother was EE or Wellie in that regard. If he was a girl, my guess is he'd lay a light olive egg. Most of the F1 Marans x EEs do, but some get lucky and lay a dark olive. It's generally the B1...

    kansaseq, I think you'll have the darkest-olive eggs from the pullets hatching out of the Wellie hens, but I'd say the best chances of getting one to look like Tequila's mom would come from an EE.

    Icelandic Chickens

    Who's the Admissions Director around here? I'm interested in acquiring some Icelandic hatching eggs. I have a fledgling farm & sanctuary and I donate all my white eggs to charity. Currently, these come from White Leghorns, but I need a few more in order to reach my goal of 10% and the...

    Are you sure another chicken didn't peck it? I have somebody that occasionally pecks one and leaves it just like that. She doesn't devour it, just pecks it like that. When I find out who it is...it's gonna be free on craigslist.

    Well I think Don was right, it's not just the photo, my lead roo has a short back... Number Two has a longer back, but his coloring is messed up... (red in the breast and the light ring around the hackles, also extremely sparse leg feathering) I think #1 is still #1.

    The Olive-Egger thread!

    PhillyPhlock, your first two birds pictured show exactly what led me to thinking about the phenotype for my line. Notice that the F1s generally have the beard and muffs? But then everybody (it seems) is backcrossing them back to Marans to darken the egg, and then we all lose the beards and...

    It's a bit on the light side. Did this Cuckoo Marans come from a hatchery?

    The Olive-Egger thread!

    Have any of you given any thought to setting a goal of a certain phenotype for your Olive Eggers to breed true? I'm thinking of something gamebirdy, like this Olive Egger cockerel, but way more so... Maybe introduce some Sumatra?
