Another layer! It's the blue one on the right.

The top one is a muscovy egg, the small white one is a bantam egg and the rest are newly laying standard pullets.

I still want white and mint green eggs from my standard girls.

Wow lovely! They look beautiful love! I love the colours. My partner didn't know egg colours could be blues and greens I showed him and his like how do they get them like that? I said the chicken lays like that. He wants blue and green eggs now lol.

Having grown up mostly cityish and then spending 20 years in the washing DC area and finally jumping into this new crazy lifestyle, I often get questions from my friends in the city. My favorite of all was: "Are blue eggs safe to eat?" and he was serious as a heart attack. Someone gifted him a box of eggs and he was too embarrassed to ask them about the blue egg. It took me a lot of effort not to laugh, but I did get a good laugh after the call.

Beautiful!!! How are their personalities? I love how they look but are they gentle or not very kid friendly?

My last pair where very friendly
These ones arnt as friendly yet as they came from a breeder who neglected them

Good evening/morning

Some pictures I took of my little chooks yesterday. All healthy and 8 layers out of 12. Pretty good with two 9/10 year olds and a hen who had lash egg... (the other is a big slacker and she knows it)

(pardon some of the overexposed pictures, it was 3pm and terrible lighting)

Flock Update:

Well one of the chicks has really watery poop... I'm a bit concerned . I mean they are all acting fine so I'm not sure which one , so going to keep an eye on these fuzzballs!

Today my lil future farmer reminded me that we haven't given veggie treats in a while so we grabbed some slivered carrots and some greens. He insisted that he give them the treats. They saw the carrots falling and came running! I think they like the carrots cuz they look like worms...

I'm also excited that Sesame came and ate out of my hand today!!! All my little white striped blacks want to do that! They came running when i came out to feed them this morning.... even Crispy (one of the reds) is starting to trust me... think becuz i chase away the cats.

Flock Update:
I checked on my ladies this morning they seem happy. I will treat them this afternoon because they may not get a chance to free range today. Depending on the time I get home.

Sold another dozen eggs so thats $5 to the chicken coop savings. I only asked for $3 but the ladies got a $2 tip lol
