This is my McMurray pullet at almost 7 months old. She started laying a few weeks ago and is laying quite well for this time of year. Her eggs are darker (medium pink) than I expected and not shaped like a torpedo the way my previous eggs from this breed have been. She is darker in color, too -...

Here is mine at 5 weeks old. I ordered 5 and received 4, 1 of which died a day or two after arrival. Of the three survivors, two were obvious cockerels, which I culled. So that leaves this one as my last remaining hope for a pullet. I don’t really see any of her (?) cuckoo pattern at all yet...

My chicks from McMurray shipped April 12th and arrived April 15th. I ordered 5 LCNs and received 4 (I don't know what the 5th one was, but it was much too dark to be a LCN, so I sold it). Of the 4 that arrived, 1 passed away on the 16th of unknown causes - it was alert and healthy at noon and...

Checking back in to see if anyone has received these from McMurray yet? Mine shipped today! :celebrate

The only one. I had an EE pullet go broody last summer and ordered half a dozen hatching eggs of "whatever can get here quickly and cheaply" from My Pet Chicken. She was one of three chicks (along with an OE pullet and a mystery barred cockerel out of a blue egg) who hatched. I soon realized...

Well, there will be no adult pictures of my beautiful Bella. I came home from work last night and found her dead and decapitated on the coop floor. :( I think she had just started laying, too. I wish I had been able to get a weight on her prior to disposing of the carcass; she must have been 10+...

My girl is 6 months (24.5 weeks) old and starting to show comb and wattle development. I expect her to start laying in the next few weeks, since the days are now getting longer. Fingers crossed!

Bella is almost 20 weeks old now, and I can't get over the size of this bird! Maybe part of the difference is that she obviously came from a private breeder, while my other birds are hatchery stock? She has to be approaching 10 pounds now...she's larger than my almost 6 month old Delaware and...

Not an adult yet, but I got a great photo of Bella tonight. She's 10.5 weeks old now and about equal in size to my 15 week old Salmon Faverolles! I'm a little partial, but I absolutely love her.

Absolutely!

This thread has been a fascinating read, even if a lot of it is a bit over my head! I lucked up and received a Niederrheiner egg in an assortment of hatching eggs I ordered from My Pet Chicken this summer. I had no idea what to expect, but the chick that hatched has quickly become one of my...
