Is there any reason to think that my boy here is not a Blue Andalusian? He came straight out of the straight run Ameraucana tub of Ideal chicks at my local farm store?
For several months, on a regular basis, I was getting one beautiful green egg from one of my (almost) nine month old pullets. I'm not quite sure lays them. For the last two weeks, or so, they stopped. I am now getting all brown eggs. My question is, is it possible for for a hen to start...
I have a beautiful white pullet that came from Ideal that is an unidentified breed. I had researched and decided she was a White Jersey Giant. When she was small, she was almost black and gradually turned to white as she grew. She is quite large and has greenish (willow?) colored legs. This...
