Hi everyone! I've tried to catch up on the goings on but I'm still a week behind BUT, we just got back from a week in Fort Bragg and my mom was collecting eggs for me so I opened the cartons to check the eggs and imagine my surprise when I found THIS!

My very first egg from my very first Olive Egger! I was just looking at her this morning and didn't think she was red enough yet. I asked her when she was going to lay her first egg....she was probably wondering why I wasn't congratulating her! She's a beautiful Blue Marans/Silver Ameraucana. I'm SO happy with her color! My Blue Marans are Wade Jean I got from Papa Brooder. I had so much trouble getting here. I bought six and they had black mold and lost half of them within the first few weeks but ended up with 2 blue pullets and one beautiful blue cockerel. When they were finally able to join the flock the cockerel went missing one day so I ended up with just the two blue pullets. They lay a nicely dark egg for blue's. I am pleasantly surprised at the darkness of this egg coming from blue Marans.

Here's a little line up but the colors didn't come out very well. I also was treated to a couple of the fart eggs from the Polish pen. I've rarely been gifted with these tiny eggs so two within a few weeks is a treat but now I'm wondering who's doing it and why twice. Should I be worried or feel blessed?


Here's some pictures of the 4 month old Black Copper Marans cockerels from the extremely dark eggs I got from Deb and Sunny. They are really beautiful, sorry for the fuzzy pictures, they're quick little buggers! Anyway, I picked out the one I'm keeping and I think I have five for sale. If anyone is interested PM me. I also have a really nice baby that's about 9 weeks from my roo from Deb Black Copper Marans and one of the Blue Copper Marans .



Here's the eggs they came from...


Miss everyone....been really busy hauling kegs of beer and bottles of wine to our farmers market and Party in the Park. Now I'll go back and try to catch up...better then unpacking from a weeks vacation right?

Welcome back Pam!

Those are very nice eggs and FBCMs!

Also, Dawg53 says to give them a half dose of corid after the treatment to help them build up immunity. Also give them B vitamins since the Corid causes a deficiency.

How do I give them B vitamins? Any particular one of the B's that is especially important for them to have?

I put the liquid B Complex in their waterer. It tends to change their poo orange, but it doesn't hurt any of them. I am not certain what you are using for watering them all though.

Yes, Liquid B Complex into the water. You could also break a gel cap and mix it into plain yogurt.

Lucky you on all counts! I love Fort Bragg, especially now. Beautiful olive coloring and those Marans eggs. Will you have any Marans pullets available?

Those are some great colors. I wish I could get a couple from you, but I think I have a little bit of an overcrowding problem right now anyway.
