One of the rocks is sweet, the other scares easilly. The RIR can do their year of egg laying and then hit the stock pot haha.

The RIR definatley lay well. I had one. What was / is one your wish list for breeds? Mine changed after my first beginner set of chickens that i had.

This WAS my wish list before I had a single chicken:

Lakenvelder (white with black head) or a light sussex
Vorwerk (gold Lakenvelder, orange with black head)
Marans
Welsummer
double laced Barnevelder
wyandottes (blue laced)
Leghorn
Araucana (or easter egger)


I obsessed about egg color and chicken diversity in looks, now I realize some of those do not have the temperament I need

Eventually I will have an olive egger or two, some blue eggers, tan, different shades of brown, maybe a pink one.. But character will come first.

My wyandotte is super sweet I'm not sure how she was as a chick though the Leghorn is very pecky none of the chicks are mean yet they just don't like being held like the rsl's

I love the idea of the wyandottes parental nature. Ofcourse, that would lead to some serious chicken math (oh let's stick some eggs under the wyandotte, it'll be cute!)

But they don't count if they are eggs or chicks or not laying

Bama1, are you by any chance attending the Chicken and Egg Festival in Moulton and bringing cream legbars to sell?

I'm going but won't have any to sell this time. I'm JUST now getting started with the cream legbars..... the hatching eggs I ordered are in the incubator. It will be fall before these are laying and I am hatching. I will have them next year at the festival, and hopefully Sulmtalers also.
