We have a mixed flock! My daughter bought 29 chicks that were hatched about Mar 20. Last Monday (at exactly 20 weeks) we got our first pullet pellet! On Tue, Wed, Thur. we got 2 pellets each day. Today we got 5 pullet pellets!! we are so excited! We just can't tell who's laying for sure. We have 6 gold sexlinks(brown), 2 golden laced wyandots (brown), 2 buff orpingtons (brown), 6 EEs (blue/green), 3 blue andelusions (white), 1 white rock (Brown), 3 coo-coo marans (drk brown), 3 blue copper marans (drkr brown), and 1 mystery chick. We also had 2 silver laced wyandots but they died. Obviously we can tell the white and greens from the browns, but telling who laid the various shades of brown and which of the multiple chicks are laying is still a mystery. Guess the imprtant part is that we're getting eggs! and the colors will look so pretty mixed in the cartons when we take them to the farmer's market.
