Yay Doug! Our BR eggs are both lighter and a little more yellowish than our BA eggs. Hers are darker brown and more torpedoish. Lol. sounds like you are close to having lots of eggs!!!

Only about half of ours sing.

That is interesting. I'm sure some of my neighbors wish that only half of roosters crow! Three or more days between eggs for a starting pullet normal? I am going on 2+ days now with the BA. Also, what are your experiences with how many eggs does it take for a pullet to start laying full-sized eggs? Thanks.

Not quite, my first few years was on a farm out of Troy, then we moved for my granddad to work on the ears.Great Northern in Spokane. But we had aracana (sp) when my kids were in pre-teen y
So a little have a little experience, but not much. Have gardened all my life and have small greenhouse and decided to make it multi-purpose. The chicks are loving the squash plant as well a the cuc's, but are not bothering the tomatoes or basil. So we will see how it goes.

Howdy! Those Anconas are sure good layers, especially in the winter!

Flighty little noisy things. They seem to wound a little too tight!...glad to hear that they lay well!!

Thanks for the howdy cowgrrl. Saw a few posts back you saw a griz close to your homestead. Here I was worried about the coyotes all around here!!
