Hi all - I was introduced to some very cool blank and white speckled hens that were good for both egg layers and meat birds. The name was "Spanish" something, and it's not the black white-faced ones. These were very cool looking birds - does anyone have a clue what chicken I am looking for? I...
I certainly hope you will all keep updating photos of your Silkie crosses as they grow up - I have 2 (had 3, but my mother-in-law fell in love with them, too, so I had to share). I will share photos when I can get them to hold still for a second. One lays a buff egg, one a green egg (dad is an...
So nice to be back. Here's today's haul - my girls are coming up with some crazy colored eggs. The one in the center reminds me of the freckles my red-headed cousin had as a kid. The one on the far left has no gloss to it at all - it's so flat and rough. I'm so partial to the speckled...

Love the speckled eggs, Happy Chooks! Running home every day to see if there's a Wellie egg for us.... they're making us CRAZY... I'm not a patient person.....!!!
OK, I've been pretty quiet and behaving myself lately. Never did post a photo of my two Wellie pullets - never got a good one. I did get kind of a fun one today, at 25 weeks of age, both basking in the sun. Between lousy light and a lousy back, I haven't had much fun with a camera lately.
