Picked up some of these at tsc the other day, my girls went nuts over them. They are huge!

Sooo a few things about the attack. Where were the other birds standing? I've never been able to stop an aggressive male from doing aggressive male things, and I've tried most techniques recommended, on a few males. If you'd still like to keep him, I suggest you read this really good article

I haven't read TwoCrows' yet, although it's been on my to do list

Sign on the door when we arrive -

"Tonight's dinner special is Snape Stew, garnished with chicken wings, with deviled eggs and chicken fries on the side."

Now your talking! What time, and where!?!

I collected this strange-looking egg today! I think it is beautiful; I haven't ever seen one like this, as far as I know, so I think a hen might have had an issue with producing the pigment.

Gorgeous! I've been getting some new olive eggs from the Tsouloufati pullets. Honestly, don't love the olive eggs

Those LOOK huge! Are they the same price as the smaller ones? I need to start a mealworm farm. Lol.

I was walking normal. Towards the coop area to add water to their waterers bc the boogers knocked it over. Chickens were walking around me. They weren't super close to me either. It was odd. Idk why he attacked my leg.

I'd be tempted to hatch it just to see what baby popped out of such an interesting egg.

A friendly preening

That looks like red leakage, but probably not male specific, if you catch her in the daylight, get a broadside shot of her what a cute crest. Yeah, I think a splash or blue silkie would be fun to cross with her. No telling what other color genetics that black is hiding though. A true black x Blue would give you black and blue chicks, a true black x Splash would give you blue chicks. But if she has one copy of black and it's hiding something else, then who knows! Maybe I'll hatch a partridge that I can send your way for her, that might be interesting.
