I got my first Silverudd's Blue egg a couple days ago. Interestingly, my friend who owns three of my pullet's hatchmates got her first two SB eggs on the EXACT SAME DAY...one mint green and the other a dark, dark olive green with speckles. Beautiful!!!
I'm still waiting on eggs, so I don't have any to show you, unfortunately, but to answer your other question, I think ALL the colors look amazing. Overall, black is my favorite so far (I don't have any splash birds...yet). I love the green, blue, and purple tones that just pop when the sunlight...

If the brother is already "pinking up," you either have a slow-developing cockerel on your hands or a pullet with an exceptionally...
Think nothing of it! Upper Sandusky is quite small. Many people, including Ohioans, have never heard of it.
I've got some fencing due to arrive today. I can't wait to separate these rascals and give the little girls a much-deserved break.
Thank you. Jack and his brothers, along with the bantam boys, are acting like a bunch of hormonal teenagers right now and will be separated into their own living quarters this evening. Wondering when I can reasonably expect them to start settling down a bit?
As far as I know, Cedar Point still...
