The nice Lady told me she laid a brown egg, she thinks...is not sure.
I placed my first order for 8 Langshans, 3 RIR, and 3 BR, at the beginning of October (still very warm out)...when they were 6 weeks old I placed my second order of Easter Eggers and silkies.... (still plenty warm out, no chills) Everyone had arrived active and healthy. But, by the time my first order hit about 10 weeks, they started to die (on a tuesday) the only Vet here, only sees poultry on Mondays... she left me a message with several things to try, which I did religiously, to no avail. By the time I got to see her, I only had 4 left (only 1 Langshan survived). I brought the vet my remaining birds and the recently passed... I was told she could do an autopsy ect. but it cost quite a bit and her best guess was that they were just a weak hatch (after reviewing all of my feeding, water, and bio safety measures) Ideal pretty much told me there was nothing they could do. They don't guarentee ect ect... By that time I had already recieved my last order...So far I've lost one red silkie (who never really grew, very small) and 2 EE.
BTW the str run was 50% each sex for the EE's.
I'm sticking with local breeders as this was devastating to me...
Actually I said I am not sure if she is moulting because I haven't had any blue/green eggs for a couple of months and I am not sure what she lays unless its a brown egg.
I got her with another EE at the last swap of the season and was told she was about a year old. My other two EE's haven't laid any eggs in about a month also. They lay a greenish blue egg.
