Thank you satay! Lol, all the eggs will be mine! *Colourful cackles evily in the corner* Well done SamSam, your eggy thoughts worked! Today I got my very first EVER Duck egg! I don't know if it's from my Khaki Campbell, Muscovy or the fawn cross, but it's an egg! And, of course, he's a photo of it! The duck egg is followed by Isa Brown eggs, then PR Bantam, Japanese Bantam, D'uccle and Quail eggs. And here is a question for those who have Araucana (like Ash ): Is Stuart (the pullet below) a Rumpless Araucana, and should I still breed from her if she is? I don't know if it's desirable to have Rumpless in my lines. Here are her brother and sister for tail comparison.

I might even chuck in some quail eggs too. Love the pictures of your eggs. The duck egg looks Muscovy to me. They much larger than a chook egg. My pair of Campbell's only lay eggs just bigger than a chook egg. Some Campbell's lay green eggs mine don't though.

All baby wellies are back to 100% today they are running around the brooder having a ball. They even watched home and away with me last night. Lucky hubby knows I am a crazy animal person as they took over the couch pretty much Some night we have the snakes on the couch or one of the dogs or the cat or any other random animal from around this place

Thanks satay

I'm glad your chickies are better.

So, you thought you were chicken mad, eh? Try these people.

Seriously though, it's freaking awesome!

Looks rumpless. They show up ocasionly in any araucana lines.

I would breed from it because it is interesting and different.

That is great Satay, so glad they area ll better....and watching TV.LOL.

x2, you will get 50% rumpless and 50% tailed.
U have heard that you can have problem with rumpless as they have a shortened back bone so can die while hatching or have growth problems.

Well I got 10 eggs today!!
That is an increase of 4-5 eggs from the girls original 5-6 eggs!
I have 2 of of the 3 Ancona's laying and my Bantams have started again from their last brood. To think I was told that egg production goes down in Winter time.lol.

Lol your your hens must be great egg layers!

How old?

I think its a little young but it looks just like my frizzle hen everyone thought was a rooster
My actual rooster got to a certain age and suddenly just changed The neck feathers got longer and tail longer and he lost his curls.

I've got photos in my profile but can't seem to attach from my phone
