I love how nice everyone is here!

Me too!

I'm hoping for a very light cream egg out of my SS... I have Doms for medium brown. Am I confused? Misinformed? Insane??? Lol!

 

[BigBlueHen53]

Not my white layers! It was @BigBlueHen53 (I ordered Andalusians and Anconas for white eggs this year!) lol

Thanks, I'll make a note of these. I had brown Leghorns at one time and they laid lovely white eggs, but ... they were just too panicky for my tastes.

Me too!

Me three!

I’ll let you know how they are personality-wise. If they are super flighty I might try Ideal’s 236, Production Black, or California Gray’s. They all are listed as docile. We will see. I like the way the Andalusians and Anconas look!

Thanks, that would be good to know. I guess some would call the Leghorns "flighty." Truth is, I never lost one to a predator. They are alert and reactive. Which is a good thing, in a way. I just didn't like them being so "alert and reactive" to ME, as if they'd never seen me before, after I was the one who fed them twice a day, every day of their lives for nearly three years! That same year I started out with 12 or 15 EE and ended up with 8 making it to adulthood.

I just brought home 2 Leghorns for white eggs. I'm trying REALLY HARD to get them used to me.

Other than these 2, I only have 1 other white layer and 2 cream layers. Everyone else lays brown eggs.

I love EE's they're my favorite there eggs are beautiful colors mine lay teal, green and bright blue. They are sweet and funny to watch

And I have 2 ordered for that reason! And a Cream Legbar. Can't wait to see what they lay!

Surprisingly enough I have never had any cream legbar I may have to order some eggs and hatch some just to say I finally have and have more colors in my basket
