Ms. Lewis Rich :

Mt. Healthy has a new chicken this year a DeKalb amberlinks ? never heard of em. Did they have Spec. Sussex last year I don't remember just saw um.
They are selling eggs again this year, you can mix um duck and chicken the same price. Last year they would sell a doz. for 6.00 chicken if you picked them up.
The lady that answers the phone, does not seem to like her job.
It is difficult to pick up chicks or eggs only certain days and morning hours and never on a Sat.

I saw that last night (I was on there looking at ducks

)

I never heard of them, either, so I looked them up. The dekalb amberlinks are sort of white with amber-ish colored tails and maybe they had em on their hackles, too - cant recall. But I looked at sizes, they seem to be a cross for egg laying, and aren't very big birds - so good for eggs, but not for dual purpose. I am wondering if they have leghorn in them, for the egg laying, and maybe rir or some such for the coloring ? who knows. I think size at adult was something like 4.5 to 6 pounds. Wasn't a good pic, either, so I couldn't tell if the comb laid over like a leghorn does.​

Sorry to hear about Little Man - hope he is ok. I put some blukote on Eleanor's blood feather she had broken, and it stopped the bleeding, too - although you'd have to be careful not to get it in his eyes. (and he'd be blue for awhile

)

Bummer about the baby, too. and Umm... I may be interested in some more of the little girls ya got

always need egg layers.

btw - I've been hearing the term "olive egger" what do those look like? (I'll check Hendersons chart, but I've never actually seen one, myself)

meri

Olive egger is basically a term used for EEs mixed with brown egg layers and that contributes to the olive colored egg...But it isn't a breed like EE is.​

I'll probably take the pine tar out with me in a few hours when I go out to break the ice in the waterers and put it on his comb.

The chickens got a real smorgabord this morning when they got out of the coop. I reheated some leftover chicken and dumplings, pizza, mixed in a few eggs and water...Got it good and hot then poured it over the leftover noodles, rice and veggies we got from that chinese reataurant. They really enjoyed that little treat.

Oh, btw - I'm thinking the two orp babies I had hatch (out of so many eggs

) are both roos!!!

that really blows, eh?

when I figure it out for sure, I may have a coupe fo buff orp roos for sale

or I'll just eat them. They are nice birds - I got the eggs from hinkjc

(it was not her fault the eggs didn't hatch, they got too cold or something, because they went almost to hatch then quit)

The mommas are the olive egg layers, and the daddy is the Welsummer.​
