Dixie Chicks

if you want amazing white egg layers that are not white feathered, get blue Andalusians!

My brownleghorns do pretty good on the laying, I do wish they were rosecomb though. Actually even with thier floppy combs, no frostbite on them, only some on the wellie roo.

Gee, this is what I like. Others experiences introducing different breeds to us. Blue Andulusians! My son got three looney girls. They were cute silly yellow chicks that turned into amazing silly and goofy white eggs layers. They cost 1.99 each at Tractor supply.

We went there for feed.

I was a chick snob.

He got three. They have laid an egg a day even when there was two feet of snow on the ground. They were laying around week 16-20. And they have not stopped. They are free range all the time and lived with the white Phoenix.

They were so cheap and not expensive like my English Orpingtons. They have been well worth the 1.99 price of each!

Been there, too... that's why I have a few PR's for eggs now... and people are picky about wanting 'brown eggs only'... some like the different colors, but others are so set in their ways you can't convince them that there isn't a difference in the actual egg...

I used to think white egg layers were just bad....



I don't know exactly why I was so prejudiced

Maybe just because my grandmother only had brown egg layers

There is so many cool breeds out there I wish I could have a couple dozen different ones! Anconas and Minorcas are both excellent white egg layers also. But one breed I would add if I could would be Egyptian Fayoumi. They are like the quail of the chicken world as in how fast they mature. Laying in four to four and a half months, cockerels start crowing in five to six weeks. Around four and a half pounds for roos and the hens are good layers of small white eggs. Resistant to most chicken diseases, they have been studied because of their immunity to disease and bacterial and viral infections.

Those three goofy silly scrawny white girls lay huge white eggs. Know what they were for 1.99? Leghorns. But I love the sound of Blue Andulusians. Oh well, it must be the chicken snob in me. But wow those white girls sure are funny to watch.

I made my baby sister get Egyptian Fayoumi, she does like in boiling hot Texas....

She wasn't over the hill excited by them though... I will have to call her and ask her again what she thinks about them.

I really like a lot of the Asian breeds...
The roosters with the insanity long tail feathers and such.... I'm a sucker for a round bird... Orpington's, Cochins... And love laced anything... And apparently I like blue Wheaton
