Sharing some egg colour with y'all today. Pullet eggs. 25 weeks old. BCM on top, left. She's been working on her's for about 10 days now. First egg from my Blue Ameraucana below it. Some of my hens' eggs on the right (Blue Copper Marans and Red Star) to compare. I truly couldn't be more thrilled!
Holy cow... I have got some serious egg envy. lolSharing some egg colour with y'all today. Pullet eggs. 25 weeks old. BCM on top, left. She's been working on her's for about 10 days now.

Ok Barb, here are my 4.5 week old Silkies. The Partridge girl on the far right was hatched from a Splash mom, anxious to see how she develops, and what color she turns out to be! The other Partridge on the left is "woody". He started crowing this morning! One Black, and the rest are Blues.
Well thanks, that would be a heck of a road trip for these! I am not pleased with the lack of beards on these guys. Mine tend to show up later, but should have a bit more right now. the cock I am using has some great qualities I want; ie. short back, lots of foot feathering, dark skin and eyes, great toes, and he throws more richer color to the Partridge hens. On the downside, less beard, and in the roo chicks, less crest.Debbi .... road trip in my future ... I am so TOTALLY going to come and kidnap all your blues ....(which do look VERY much like my split lavender ...)
But more importantly ... any progress at all from the SGs ????
My Silkies will likely get moved outside into their permanent homes next weekend. LOADS of photos of the whole crew should follow ....
