It's just that my blue egg layer is actually a light olive egger and she was $3.00 at the feed store. I don't get it, that price just seems a bit much.

Let the buyer beware! Stores make the best money on impulse shoppers!

I must say seeing the blue inside and light olive outside mystifies the grandkids. I haven't explained yet, let them have a little awe in their minds for nature.

Diannastar - I don't know if you'd be interested, but I'm probably going to rehome this 4 month old cockerel. He's not related to DesertChic's birds, and is showing promise of being a nice sized bird. He just doesn't fit the narrative of the direction I'm going. He also may have some Aloha in him. He came from Draye, that normally posts in the Naked Neck thread.

Can you tell the sex when the Bielfelders mixes hatch? Sounds like cool eggs!

So far, all of the Biel/NN mixes have been girls so I can't be sure. They've retained the strong chipmunk striping, but without having males to compare them to I just can't be sure.

AMEN to all of that Parront, just wondering if any of the auto sexing breeds are heat tolerant..? but truly thank goodness we live out of the heat our selves HA right, being in Bisbee & Prescott, life is cool & dry just nicer for man & beast alike and you cant fault that, im glad we landed here when our motor coach broke down for 9 weeks in Bisbee waiting for parts since the new breaks we just had installed weeks before in fla failed on the big very steep hill HA , so having to stay in Bisbee for 9 weeks we decided to stay, its a kool little town that's for sure, but now all the millionaires from all over are moving in and buying up everything.! and i still would like to see whats happening in Prescott...! is there such a thing as small ranches over your way..?

If you go shopping for them, take a good look at the chicks online, be sure you do not shoot yourself in the foot and choose the cute little roosters!

Exactly , but if it is at all possible its always best to buy locally, that's your best option, and your birds will be use to the weather & you can learn a lot from the breeder thats giant plus..! so when im ready for my NN babies Desertchick, im calling you ...!!!!
