Not sure. Its his thigh area. Huge blue lump. Cant put weight on the leg. Its a boy, so I really need to bite the bullet and just cull it, no sense in trying to fix it. I already have a keeper from this years black mottled cockerels. Very weird injury though....

thats good to know...I got the feeling they were so nervous all the time that they freaked everyone else out or picked at everyone. Nice to know I might be wrong (dont get used to it).

Just want a couple anyway. Im going to try and get some really good dels on the breeding side. Mixing in ee's, whites, and wels is a good way not to have to separate everyone to tell diff in eggs and still get plenty of eating eggs for me and Harley

I sent her a pm. Hang on to the boy for a couple days and ill see if I am heading that way. OR you can practice caponizing him. Just take video

White layers? Leghorns, minorcas, andalusians, dorkings.....mostly the flighty breeds. I still like my leghorns and especially my leghorn crosses. You need my leghorn/cochin girl! LOL. She will probably lay a tinted, or light brown egg.

[eta: if you want egg production machine, you need to just resign yourself to the leghorns.....probably white]

I thought about a couple blue andalusions, but I think they are about as bad a white legs for needing prozac.

I have 2 andalusians. One usually was easy to get along with...the other a bit skittish. But they lay wonderful eggs and are usually pretty steady. Have you ever had anconas??? Talk about needing prozac..they really spaz out. Glad those 2 are gone.

Hi!
All I have for sale as far as hens go are brown layers (split lavender orpingtons). I would suggest Buttercups if you want white eggs and fun birds. They may be on the small side, but they can definitely hold thier own in a mixed flock.
I am setting some eggs next week for lav cuckoo ameraucanas, and I give away all the plain cuckoo ones, but not sure if chicks are what you're looking for. I think I am down to one girl in that pen laying, so won't be many chicks, but still....

Its just for my eating egg flock... eggs of a different color so they can stay with the del breeders and we can see which are which. Plain cuckoo would be fine.

Havn't got a PM but sounds good, just let me know what time! You'll have to warn me a good couple hours ahead of time, exit 407 is an hour and 15 minutes from where I am... unless I go visit with my grandmother

I'm gonna PM you my # and you can just text me (if you have texts) and that'll be the fastest way to get ahold of me...

Ok- they will mostly be split for lavender cuckoo if you get the urge. Some might lay olive, some blue. I will keep you posted
