Isa's Homestead Happenings and Hangout

I don't hold my eggs against a color wheel. Too many color options. Brown, like horses, all brown.

I don't think I own a color wheel. Oompa loompa would also describe it. All my birds lay light brown or cream.

Should be the Barnevelder, right? So pretty!

Not sure, I suspect so but I only get one every other day and they're already there in the morning...

Oh hush. I've yet to see 'oompa loompa' on a color wheel.
I can take it to the paint chip wall at home depot if you want.

Here you go Brooks.

Here you go Brooks.

They were there, but you've cemented those songs in my head. Thanks.

Doopity doo.

 

[Aunt Angus]

No, I am not.

Seriously they look a little too scrawny for my tastes.

I think they're beautiful. Their big floppy combs look like sassy cocked hats.

I've been selling out of eggs every week for the past 2 months. I have 3 people with weekly orders of 2 or 3 dozen. The girls are paying for themselves now. I'm adding 2 BCM pullets in spring. I didn't want to get more chickens, but Idk how long it will be before my 2nd generation of chickens will continue laying. My personal max is 20 females in the big coop. I'm at 15, so I can add a few more without issue. But I will have all the colors in my egg basket once I add them. If it goes well, I may add Welsummers next year. My previous Welsummer laid the most gorgeous speckled eggs, but she dies suddenly last year.

Here's one of the dozen I just sold. Dark brown will round it out nicely.
