Blue Andalusian thread!

They may fill out a bit more by the end of their first year. Pullet eggs are normally small to start with. They will get bigger and come more frequently as they mature.

My boy is growing up. I've never been a fan of roos, but if he keeps his great attitude and personality, I'm in love.

He's a good lookin' boy.

Just keep your eyes on him. If he ever looks like he's thinking about misbehaving, take a quick step toward him. That's usually all I have to do to get those little boys to back down. If that doesn't work, you can "fly" your hand over his head. That makes them pretty nervous. You can also clap and yell "hey!" while stepping toward him.

I've found the Andalusians to be pretty easy going. I've only had one that would outright attack... he went bye bye. I had one other that I needed to watch while he watched me. We had a truce. He wouldn't attack me and I wouldn't pick him up unless I absolutely needed to.

Thanks for the tips! We've had some really nasty roos in the past. Needless to say, they didn't get to stick around.

He is beautiful. Great photos. I will check with you when I'm ready for a roo too see if you have one available.

Handsome roo. I have two sweet hatchery ladies. I have wish they were from a breeder, but they are really nice. My laying flock is starting to lay, I read that Andalusians lay taited eggs. Is this true and if so what do they look like? I have mostly brown layers, but I am trying to identify some whiter eggs.

One of my Andalusian girls just started laying, and it's a smaller, white (almost an off white) egg.

The eggs should be white or very slightly tinted.

finally my mixed girls are laying. I miss their dad like crazy!

Anyone have eggs available? I'm needing to get some new blood to add in my breeding program.
