    I'd love to have an olive egger! Hopefully she will be one.

    Have you ever had an 8 week old pullet lay an egg?

    Thank all 3 of you. So far no more little eggs. Haven't cracked it open yet but expect to find the white only.

    I breed Easter-eggers. Most of them inherit the colored egg gene but some do not. I hatched colored eggs last year and a few of this years hens lay brown. Most do not. If they were crossed with a brown egg layer I do not know what would happen. I think they would have a higher chance of...

    Quote: Hmm, not sure. They are sort of stocky, but not as much as seen in the pics. In the first picture of them at the water pail, the tailless one was drinking and her head is tucked in and so makes her look plumper than she is. Why? Would that be an indicator for a breed?

    Quote: Thanks! That's kind of neat. We didn't think that any of the eggs being brooded were EEs. We only have 2 EEs- one lays green the other a pinkish brown that we can't tell from some of the other eggs laid. Do you know if the egg color is passed on true, or since EEs are such a...

    Black Langshan x ? hybrid or Black Marans? 8 weeks old Roo or pullet?

    I bought 5 Black Marans pullets from Estes, but I forgot (dummy me!!!!) to look at their legs before I put them under the hens to mother to ensure they all actually had feathering. Now I can't tell the Marans from the other 7 black chicks that are Black Langshan-fathered hybrids with BA or...

    8 weeks old, two roos available as fathers: Black Langshan and Colombian Wyandotte. Langshan is probable due to chicks feathered legs which is hard to see in pic. Chick #1 I'm thinking mom is Gold-Laced Wyandotte, Easter Egger, Buff Orpington, Salmon Faverolle, Blk Austrolorp, Rhode Isl Red...

    Have you ever had an 8 week old pullet lay an egg?

    I collected eggs the other day and found an egg that looks to me like a new layer has kicked in: My main flock will be a year old in July and Aug so unless something weird is happening to one of them, I'm rulling them out as candidates for the source. The candidates for a new layer come...

    Langshan Thread!!!

    Quote: I knew I needed to wait until full dark, but went ahead and tried to corner him about dusk - he spooked of course. I waited for him to head into the hen house, but he sleeps up on the highest rung on their stair-stepped roost. It didn't work out well either -- had to try before the...

    Langshan Thread!!!

    rodriguezpoultry -- Thanks! I thought that night time sessions would be best, good to know for sure. Should I put on the antibiotic every evening or just a one time shot? I bet it will be soothing to his sore skin so he might begin to like it if it was more than once. I love your description...

    Langshan Thread!!!

    Hi. Thought I'd chime in. I have two Black Langshans - when pullet chicks, they were the shyest two of the 25 chicks I ordered (mixture of 6 wyandottes (columbian and gold laced), 2 dominiques, and a favorelle pullets for eggs and 14 buckeye cockerels for meat). They always held back from the...

    Fertile eggs??

    I too had some of the same concerns. I was taught in Biology and Animal Science in college that immediately upon fertilization by meiosis the chromosomes are constantly duplicating and dividing. Silly me, but I believe this means that life has occurred, is ongoing with no break, just more...
