I just got some mystery chicks from Tractor Supply that have turned out to be a rainbow selection of Lakeshore Eggers and I could not be happier with them!! Actually I take that back, one of my favorite ones is definitely a rooster at 3-4 weeks old
He’s gorgeous and I’m almost contemplating getting him registered as an ESA so I can keep him. As far as autosexing goes, I do not see how that could be possible with this breed unless it’s feather sexing. Stripes alone doesn’t cut it cause one of my pullets is white & buff and never had stripes. I’m convinced one of my girls is a Dixie Rainbow, and was told by Tractor Supply that the didn’t know what the chicks were but think they are Starlight Green Eggers. Once they started developing crests on their heads, that’s when I knew I needed to look further into what breed they could be. I desperately want a Legbar hen, and these Lakeshore Eggers are the closest I’ve ever gotten to having one!!
