I hadn’t thought of this before; so are you recycling the egg shells, baking them, crushing them and then feeding them back to your flock?

Yes! But I sometimes leave out the baking step.

No worries! I'm glad you've joined in If I've remembered correctly, @Louwin is in Melbourne, which is not too far from you in Geelong.

So...anyone want to take a guess if they are girls or boys? Haha. Not the best pics, they move so darn fast!
The speckled is smaller and is just getting his/her tail feathers now so I’m guessing she’s a little younger than the light
Only having ISA’s before, I never had to worry about getting a rooster by mistake

They look like pullets to me. Their combs are very low profile.

Hopefully some other folks will chime in with their opinions. (I'm not very experienced yet.)

They appear to all be girls.

Memory is a powerful thing! Did you see the video of the once prima ballerina, now in her 90's with Alzheimer's disease, starts to move gracefully upon hearing the music again? It's amazing!!

I would love to see that!!!
