Anyone need some buff/gold laced brahmas? Beautiful healthy chickens I don't have room for!!
It is an operation under anesthesia. it it hard on the Rooster and many do not live through the procedure.
That doesn't sound good
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?
Those are so pretty!! I just keep gazing at the beautiful olive colorsI think my Amelia pullets are about to molt. The egg color has gotten a lot lighter this week.
These are from last week. I have two Marans X EE(From Chiqita, Whom does not breed AMs) Those are bigger and smoother. I love the one on the far right with the crazy speckles. That is an Amelia egg.
They are very nice eggs!Those are so pretty!! I just keep gazing at the beautiful olive colors
