I've been super excited about eggs lately. Mrs. Wilbur laid her first egg over the weekend, so now at least 5 of my 6 hens are laying. I really enot reading about all of your farming exploits with goats and cows, etc. I'm over here like, hey check out my hens...I feel so "country". The hens...
I have a mixed flock of 2 EE's, 3 buff orpingtons and 1 cuckoo maran. I'll be adding a Lavender orpington or 2 at the same time as possible silkies. Will I NEED to build then their own house, or would they be ok in our existing house?
I have an opportunity to get silkies or lavendee orps or both from Heartland Hatchery this weekend...thoughts? I'll be adding them to a flock of 3 buffs, 1 cuckoo maran and 2 EEs.
No worries. They were sold as Ameraucanas. I'm not too worried about it. They are sweet and beautiful birds. I'm mostly interested in the sex of the birds.
Ruby, Dottie and Mrs. Wilbur are Ameraucanas! :-)
The buff was hard to get a good picture of. "Her" comb is a little longer and pinker than the other 2, but I just wonder.
I have these three 4 week old chicks. Please give me your thoughts. Of the 8 chicks we picked up, I'm sure that we have 1 roo, maybe 2, but I honestly have no idea with these 3.
