    Thank you Doubleleft. The hen who laid the 4th egg in is in the Easter Egger coop to make Olive Eggers. My egg customers love the dark green eggs. I am so excited to finally have a flock to work with! The others I have purchased were so light like that 4th egg I couldn't use them and call...

    Thank you for replying Desertmarcy. Now that I have hens who lay the right egg color I can start breeding and culling for eye color and such. I did have two chicks hatch on Christmas, but culled one because it had feathers on the second toe. None of my hens or the rooster have that problem...

    I'm in need of a little help. Every year I buy chicks from people in Michigan who all have claimed their flock has Davis line or Jean line in them. Once the chicks grow up and start laying I can tell I was taken for a fool again. The eggs they lay are too light and I end up culling the flock...

    This is what most of my hens look like, very little color or no color. This lady is the mom of the one pictured above. She is broody (if she only knew they were golf balls). Thank you both for the help! The rest of my flock has eyes like this picture except the yellowish eyed one pictured...

    everyone else in my flock has a redish orange color including her parents. Where did the yellowish color come from I wonder I never noticed her eyes were different than the rest of the flock. I checked her chicks from last month. A couple have black, the rest have the redish orange. I have...

    lol, it's not her normal look, her feathers are standing up, wings slighly out from the body and raised a bit, tail raised and head lowered, it's her attack stance because I pulled her from the nest. I did just check her feet... she bites! Her feet are the same color as her legs. Her eyes...

    This is my only hen I've been collecting eggs from this year to hatch. I hatched her last year. She lays the darkest eggs out of all my hens. Can anyone tell me if she is correct in color, and eye color? It isn't a great picture, I turned off the lights in the coop because she is broody.
