Thank you for letting me know what looks good on him I'm currently out of town, but will be getting more pics when I get home. My son took these for me & doesn't know what to look for. I miss being away while they develop. I've been gone for two weeks now with one more to go. This guy is why I'm gone

yes is her first egg . hope will get a little darker .

It is a progress because she is a daughter of white storm ( he come out of number 4 egg color , all his sister lay 4/5 egg color .
So she inherited the dot from her Dam a Birchen hen.

luna's mother laid her first egg #3 and ended up with #5-6. I vote #6 at least for this wonder pullet of yours!

Here's a pic my hubby sent me. The shadow obscures a little but his stance is pretty good...

Question:

My year old FBCM hen has stopped laying for about 1.5 months. Should I cull her? This seems excessive even if she is molting.
She was always the sporadic later between the two I have currently.

I will update shortly with pullet photos from my first hatch. Generation one of my coop!
