Penedesenca eggs. Thanks for the tip on the dryer sheets. I'll try it. I hate pulling mouse nests and feathers out of engine compartments and carburetors. A busy suburb of St. Louis. Other side of the road is mostly subdivisions. My side is properties with a minimum of 1 acre. Some are up to 40 acres or more and most are older homes. Our last house just up the road was a log cabin built in the 1840s. This is still one of the oldest houses in North County. Built in 1903 it is more like a city row house. Add to that all the big trees and shrubbery, I think a lot of crooks would avoid it. During a dog attack, a hawk picked up one of my chickens and dropped it off in the atrium of a retirement home. The owner came to my door and asked if I was missing a chicken. He took me to the home and I caught it. On the way back I asked him how he new I had chickens. He said, "I didn't but I knew you had a lot of weird stuff up here so I figured you must have chickens too." That's a dark egg for either but likely a RIR because rocks eggs are pretty light. Likely. A feral chicken? Somebody dumped it there? You need a big net, leg hook or net gun and several people. Don't chase it. You'll just train it to avoid you.

yep someone just dumped it there

Probably more colors than you knew existed. I have 17 birds on the ground now by a pure BCM, out of RSL hens; they run the gamut from solid black to white. Sex links don't breed true for color; they are mixed breeds themselves.

I know they are mixed breed but I just can't wait to see what color the eggs turn to be being mixed with my EE.

They will be olives
Brown from the BSL and green from the EE

That's the only thing I don't like about those they don't give off light so you have to make sure they don't burn out I would like them for in a coop but not for the incubator.

You don't need light, you need heat. They don't burn out but sometimes come loose in the socket.
An even better option is a metallic heat element.
This one is exactly 40 watts.

Its not that i find it gibberish but it's not something that i understand, I would need to teach myself more about electrical than i really have a need of, that is why i rely on my BYC friends to help me

Thanks!
LOL!!

If you want to build electrical equipment, you need more knowledge of electricity than you think.

We use the dryer sheets at our camp, in the barn, and shed they work very well, we stick them in the air cleaners, muffler/tail pipes and in my buggy seats, saddles, saddle pads
everywhere
i knew you were in the suburbs, i was merely joking about stealing your generator, neat about the chicken and hawk at the other house LOL
someday you'll need to post a picture of the log cabin
