    What the heck is this???

    chuckachucka This may sound silly; but how do I check inside a chickens ear? There's no obvious discharge or smell. I haven't touched it but I'll check that. The other ear and other birds seem ok. They all seem healthy this aside.

    I assume whither a town is (anything) friendly would vastly vary from spot to spot more than province to province...I live rural so there really no concern :)

    Noob Questions

    Egg colour

    I was reading more online and from what I can tell grey eggs come from a blue/green egg being pasted with a thick bloom over it (what makes white eggs pink or brown eggs purple like the croad lanshans)

    Egg colour

    Also do hens always lay the same colour eggs as they were hatched from? T/y :)

    Egg colour

    "You have to remember you need a rooster of each color too, The rooster is 50% of the egg color." Thanks duluthralphie :) Do you know if the roo was a white layer if the easter eggers would continue to lay the coloured eggs? I imagine they eggs would get lighter with each generation regardless...
