Hi Penny! Sorry lost the thread as there were no alerts! One of my silkies has started laying again and as I said last time my Araucana so I'm now up to a possible 5/ day. Most days I'm getting 3 I'd say.
What do you mean by a lavender rooster? What breed for the blue and green eggs? Hoping to breed my own green eggs using my Araucanas as the blue stock and adding in some Cream Legbars next year.
Had my first real chicken husbandry day today, my Harco (black hybrid) Matilda had a gross poo ball on her butt so we bought her inside (away from the protective eyes of the roosters!) and pulled a few feathers and trimmed some others so she is now poop free! Also caught Doris the Slightly Dim Silkie and cut her poor long witches nails (they were already long when she then had 2 back to back broody periods!)) and gave her hair a bit of a trim over her eyes - she seemed so much happier when she was taken back out!
This is of Mom and Dad to him he is growing in to that honestly have not take much a photos out there the last year
his tail feather where lost to our pyrenees would be also .. now I have not done silky nails maybe I should huh
just hatched out 8 last week but I think they all hens so I just put 13 eggs in incubator...fingers crossed for a rooster....lol who the hell wishes for a rooster ...I do miss my Mr Marty
