This is one of the purebred cochins! Morinth was very concerned over it, fretting away at me checking under her. But no threats of violence...like Samara did.

Polish chicken lady says the chicks are one boy and one girl. So Ric Flair and Bab Ross.

Okay:

Trivia ~ 2fer Thursday: Did you know there are only two egg shell colors ~ White and Blue? These are the only two chicken egg colors!

The white shells are white inside the shell.

The blue shells stay blue inside the shell too.

Then where do brown, pink, speckled brown spots, cream-colored, or tinted eggs come from? A pigment coats the white shell as the egg forms before the chicken lays her egg. As the hen's laying season advances the pigment lessens in intensity to where the brown eggs start to fade more. A brown egg is a pigment-coated white egg so the inside shell remains white since the brown pigment only "coats" the outside shell. A speckle-coated brown egg like Welsummer or some Marans speckled shells means the brown pigment coated irregularly but the inside shell will still be white! No matter how dark the Marans outside shell is the inside will still be white. How much brown pigment a hen forms is determined by inherited genes from her breeding history.

Where do olive, green or avocado egg colors come from? By cross-breeding blue egg-laying chickens with brown pigment egg-layers the brown pigment "coats" the outside blue shell and produces a variety of olive, green, or avocado colored eggs. Quite an interesting genetic study to produce these colors. And no matter the outside colors, the inside shell remains blue dominant. How deep a blue? Again it depends on the hen's genetic history.

I’m going to cross my Wyandottey with my Easter Egger hen and call it a new breed “The WyzenEgger”
