Hi Sally, she says she feels good and is going to drive an hour to eat somewhere Tom likes.

After yesterday, I wish she'd just stay home and take it easy till the Dr sees what's up.

Sally, she is full of plans to breed Polish that lay blue eggs. We think we got her steered in the right direction...... Maybe......

She is worried about her sick rooster..... Of all things.....

 

[napdognewfie]

Or she's trying to distract us from the real problem.

Which is her heart.

steered in which way? shouldnt be too hard, but will take a few generations to get back to the polish standards once she gets the ....

Ahhhh then comes the Blue egg

Did I ever tell you that I feed my Legbars extra treats to help with egg color? I wonder who will actually read all this.

Blue pigment is in a league of its own, its called biliverdin/oocyanin (Bile pigment byproduct responsible for a greenish color yea us too, sometimes seen in our own bruises) so does this explain the cartotenoid filled treats I feed to my blue layers? Blue pigment is not just a coating it mixes with the calcium carbonate early in the process, so its that color all the way through and thats why we all cant see them when we candle unless we have a good bright light. So as I sit here and think, Speckled & Olives? When a brown coating overlays a blue egg shell, the egg appears green. If the brown coating is very dark, the egg appears olive, yea got that we add extra treats, we get pretty eggs and we already know the hen lays the prettier eggs at the front of the clutch than the rear, but unless we feed our chickens at the table that means nothing to us, just feed the extra treats to your colored layers. But does this really make any sense? when everyone is screaming genetics genetics... sure cause it all works together right?
