Hi!
Yes I got them as youngsters, they will be 1 year old now in June. 2 Salmon Favorelles, 1 Easter Egger and one Ameraucana. All have their own unique personalities and its the first time I've ever gotten blue eggs!. I'm planing to add more colorful egg layers in the future. What kinds do you have?

Hi everyone!
I've been a big fan of BackYardChickens, but never had any chickens of my own to post anything in particular. Still, I loved reading on information about chickens, breeds, care, etc. Finally I've decided to be a proud chicken owner. The only thing was that after I had one I felt the need to continue adopting more of these colorful fun little beauties. For now its just a great hobby, but who knows... It also might become a life style!.

Hi and welcome. This is my first time having chicks.

Blue eggs are so amazing! I am totally egg obsessed and trying to acheive the most colorful egg basket (and colorful chickens) with the least amount of birds as possible in my suburban backyard. Seasonal availability and hatchery minimums are somewhat a hinderance, so I'm dependent on what my local feed stores happen to carry.

My current laying birds include Easter Egger, Buff Orp and Blue Wyandotte. I just got 2 little chicks Sunday... Black Dominant Copper and an Olive Egger. I wanted to get one more, a white or cream egg layer... the store's getting a new shipment tomorrow. Can't decide between White leghorn, Sicilian Buttercup, Speckled Sussex or.... Columbian Wyandotte just because I want a white chicken and they're so beautiful even though they lay brown eggs.
Oh, decisions decisions!! I just want them all!!!!!!!
