We got an olive green egg today! I will have to post pics. I'm just amazed at how GREEN it is!

I want to share my egg pictures too!

This shadowbox has my very first eggs (on the left and right), and one egg from each girl when they all laid eggs on one day!

Wow! I didn't even know what a tinamou was!

You ought to see the crested tinamou eggs - grass green & just as shiny.
The spotted tinamou are brown/purple - not sure how well it shows in the pic.

Concord Feed and Fuel in Pleasant Hill. I do not know where they get theirs from. They seem to get quite a number Wed thru Friday Each week. Seem to supply quite a number of people in the area.

I got my Brahma and Langshan from them three years ago. They told me that they get their chicks from Privett Hatchery. I don't know if that is still where they get them from.

That is great news!

I can't wait to see the picture.

@chiqita I checked under DefCon5 (the cuckoo maran grumpybutt broody) and there's a wet chick (silver & yellow) and another one zipping. Yay!
She wouldn't let me see much else without getting her back up.
Nothing yet under the silkie (who has just silkie/showgirls).

Gave my Dele's a bit of bolted broccoli dont think they like it as much as carrots. They are getting big. Its hard to believe they were ever as small as the Buffs.

The winter crops just keep giving (probably because of those march storms)

Quote: Woo Hoo!!!!! Can't wait to see what the chicks look like!

Quote: Congrats! Where sis you say you were getting them from again? Was it Papa Brooder?

Quote: I agree! As long as she has given up on the eggs on her own, I would get the friend for her. I don't think it will affect her going broody again after she is back in better condition.

Fun Friday pic -

Back row (L - R): Nene goose, Bronze broad breasted turkey, naked neck chicken, OE, EE, Welsummer
Middle row: Polish, Partridge Orp, wind egg, wind egg, wind egg, pigeon (roller) egg
Front row: spotted tinamou, coturnix quail, valley quail, ringneck dove, button quail, diamond dove, zebra finch

What gorgeous eggs! That Spotted Tinamou one does not look real....looks like a candy egg!

I wanted to share couple of photos of the eggs some of my hens lay; or, I should say: they gift me with. I do not breed for egg color; the color palette and the patterns were a delightful surprise. The small ones are Ko Shamo eggs; which they lay surprisingly large eggs for their tiny size. I took the photos under different natural light so to give a better view.

Oh my! More gorgeous eggs!

This is the supposed delivery at the feed store for today. Can anyone comment on these breeds. I may be raising some chicks out for relatives and the feed store doesn't have more delawares till mid may. Buff Orps seem to come every week.

Blue Wyandotte Pullets

I'm sure the "Ameraucanas" will be EE. I have not has the other breeds, but I absolutely LOVE my Blue Wyandotte. She is the broody Momma in my avatar. I would not hesitate to get more like her.

Quote: Agreed!!!! I have found 3 crammed into the same box and the other 2 nests completely empty on occasion.

She's already molting like a fiend too

I really need some BLRWs!!!!

Quote: Maybe you could ...very politely...send her pics and ask if she could help you identify them

4 chicks out, one died a day after hatching. One more on it's way. Still have 7 more eggies to go.

Sorry you lost one, but hope the rest hatch!!!
