Now three or four marans are laying, we’re back up to all our egg colours again (Mole filling in for red sex links until her egg darkens)..

For anyone who’s interested, I’ve started a separate thread for my Grouseleg breed project, my long term goal to make my own breed.

We’re up to five or six marans pullets laying now. About half our daily egg count are now marans.

Congrats.... stunning colors, my friend.
12 of our 20 BCM girls are laying + 9 more pullets are 16 weeks. The Silvers are all laying, Solo just started back up a week ago.

While it’s still full of stock images and an irrelevant ‘blog’ that I didn’t write (I will change it), my website is now live, and selling DCM eggs.

I found this GCM hen posted online, by a French account. I’m so jealous, she’s pretty much perfect (if you ignore the leg feathering I’m not allowed).

Next week I’m hoping to set some F1s under a silkie. These will be Duke of Wellington (Silver cuckoo) over black copper hens, hopefully Channel too if she starts laying again after a random egg last week.

A Wellington x Channel cockerel would be a brilliant start to the GCM project. If the blue/splash allele gets passed along I would welcome the variety, even if it’s not recognised, Golden blue cuckoos can look nice.
