It will not be this year, or maybe next year. That being said my sister questioned me on why none of my chickens lay blue eggs. I do not want blue eggs, I want brown, lots of brown eggs. Well SHE wants blue eggs, so apparently I need a blue egg layer.
Get your sister a can of blue spray paint, and say, “ knock yourself out!”

Agathae says Happy Monday to you as well!
She lays blue eggs.
 
It's actually warmed up really nicely! The mamas went into the shade with their babies, I am finding that chickens like horses, can tolerate the cold better than the heat.

Doesn't anyone else have that same observation? I am not talking about extreme -30C cold outside temps, but in the barn around +2C like this morning here. It's about 20C out there and everyone is in the shade now.
Yes. Heat is way more dangerous to chickens than cold. Their combs and toes are well designed to limit damage from frostbite. They have very limited ability to cool down.
