I set 7 eggs for the Easter "Hatch-A-Longs" I am hatching blue ameraucana. This is my first time doing this, and my second hatch!
What if they hatch on Easter morning? ??
I have four Welsummers in my flock. So far they have been very sweet. All of them get along with the other breeds too. It was difficult to find them from a breeder this year. All of my girls have been sweet since small chicks. I would breed these girls, so pretty.
The picture is of a Gold Laced. They have a good record for the amount of eggs they lay. But stress, among other things could reduce that. The first year they lay almost daily.
I have gold laced wyandottes and they are in with welsummers. Extremely friendly too. They all get along well. I will be free ranging them with my others. 7 breeds so far.
Hello.
I agree completely. My Dad served in two wars. Also enjoyed looking at Moonlit farm. I am having a 16 x 16 coop built in a few days
We live in Central Florida. I have 4 coops to part with because I need a cooler coop here. I didn't know anything about raising chickens
when I bought these...
I would be very interested. Also I ordered lavender Ameraucana chicks for April. I will probably have more than I need.
I have barred rocks, Aussies, and ameraucana. Looking for a couple welsummer pullets.
I love my barred rocks! I have 6 hens, and they did mature at 5 months. But when the weather is cold, they stop for a while. I give them extra protein, and calcium if they were laying. It seems to help them get with it again. The eggs are wonderful.
I have 9 barred rocks, and 4 Amerucana's. The pink eggs are from the barred rocks.
I raised my Ameraucana's and thought they were very unfriendly, not so...once they
started laying, they became very friendly. Beautiful blue eggs! They have a funny
personality. Also they are cleaner than my other...
I say Barred Rock eggs are the best tasting. However, It all depends on what they are being fed.
Also, they are friendly, lay big brown eggs...that keep getting bigger. Everyone loves them.
