That egg is a whopper!

Hi Glad and Rocky

I am ready to cut down to 2 roosters, if anyone is interested I have 2 Arkansas Blue roosters, around 4 months, that have to go. They are both blue. The AB's are skittish but not unfriendly, small standard birds and the hens lay a nice pure light blue large egg. They are very feed efficient. Crossed over a barred hen they will produce sex links.

By far our biggest egg yet. Doesn't even fit in the carton

Poor baby that laid that!

These look similar to Andalusians pretty

where at

I live in the UP, but travel down to Lansing every few weeks.

The blue-black-splash gene group is also called Andalusian Blue for the breed it originated from. These guys are smaller, with a pea comb - sprightly and good foragers. I have yet to see or hear of an aggressive rooster in this breed.

Making the decision on who goes to freezer camp...

I have several lovely surplus roosters that would be a nice addition to a flock and don't deserve freezer camp.

While many of the boys are Salmon Faverolle, Light Brahma, or Dark Cornish crosses (mostly with Ameraucana), I also have:

Roosters or pairs of Silver Spangled Appenzeller Spitzhauben - beautiful small large fowl that lay a white egg, are great foragers and very interactive.

Black Araucana rooster - clean faced with tail but mother is tufted and father is tailless.

Lavender Orpington roosters - beautiful carriage and feathers.

Lavender Ameraucana rooster - lovely even color throughout.

Sulmtaler rooster - very calm bird best suited for a small flock.

Blue Copper Marans rooster - lovely boy for a backyard flock.

Black Copper Marans rooster - lovely boys for a backyard flock.

Mixed breeds: many EE with pea comb. Remainder are large combed mixed parentage with lovely colors including red/gold, black/straw, white/black, tricolor, etc.

At least 25 will be sent to freezer camp next Friday unless they find new homes. Located in Macomb County adjacent to Rochester.

Are you rehoming or selling your birds? If selling them what are you charging?
