Girls are laying good again 18 eggs so far this week (Sun-Sat) and still no blue eggs and 2 girls are still not squatting so I think I have 5 out of 8 laying right now.

The others need to get on board because Im going to breed 2 of these Dels and possibly the Pita girl this year and I still need to get eggs.

There will be Dom bantams at PPBA in Modesto and at the Ferndale show.

Hi Walt,
do you remember who had them at the Ventura show?
I don't know which I liked more, their body type or their pattens.

Are there any Meet up

I should be there Saturday, unless a blizzard hits california.
That would be about the only reason I wouldn't be there sat

I'm looking forward to seeing the Langshan, too!

Here are a couple pics of some of my cockerels from last year's hatch. They are big, beautiful boys!

Hubba Hubba! When that blue boy gets some girls please let me know...They are all so beautiful!

About a year ago I asked you guys for input re your favorite blue egg layer. I got a lot of great input and what I decided to do was get a couple of each Ameraucana, CL and U of A Blues and see what I like best. I started with the AM and I am not a fan. I know some lines are mellow and my girls were broody raised and that has an impact on friendliness but they were seriously wigged out flighty. I still have one because she is so pretty...Black head blue body...but am ready to give CCL a look this broody season. I am looking for girls that tend toward the silver and cream side rather than the brown. Anyone know where I can get some hatching eggs?

I have an idea where I might be able to get some U of A Blues

I know they tend to be flighty too but I can forgive a lot for a true blue egg.

Since the UofA Blue thread was closed, we are calling them Arkansas Blue Egg Layers.

@CackleJoy Rebecca has some my girl is from her eggs


They are a bit flighty if you do not spend time with them I am told. Ours loves to fly up and perch on shoulders heads and anything to be tall.

I have not got eggs yet but she is squatting and should lay any day now.

The boys were pretty sweet but were poor breeding quality so I culled them.

Im getting more CLB eggs to see if I can get a good male and some more females.

She holds her own with the bigger birds I love her.
