I do have a barnyard mix of chickens that all run together, but we are trying to get some heritage breeds. They will walk together with the rest of the flock till I decide I want to start actively breeding in a certain direction. Then I will give them a month to basicly lay out the other...
I just heard back from the breeder. Apparently the australorp can be a easter egger. The eggs just marked wrong. And she also said that the buff is probably from the buffs she has because somewhere along the line some of her buffs got featered legs. Maybe a easter egger got into the buff enclosure.
Well her ad said potch koekoek, easter eggers, buff orpington, light sussex, black austrolorp and golden laced wyandottes. No marans or any feathered leg breed other than maybe easter eggers as far as I know. But apparently all her breeds are separated.

Thank you I was just woried because the eggs were so much larger than my other chickens at that age and I worried that it was putting strain on their bodies.
I just bought a few lohman brown hens and they are all 30 weeks old but some of them are laying very big eggs. Is that good or is it putting a strain on their bodies. The next picture is a egg layed today.
This is an egg layed by one of my 32 week old barnfelder mix pullet.
Hi there I got some goose eggs from my aunt who got them from someone else, I was told they were layed that same week and there was a gander in the flock. I don't know which breed they are but I started Incubating on 11/10/2025 thats 3 - 4 days now. Acording to the research I did they have...
