Cashew is the one on the right of the photo, shes the one that lays a bluish green egg.... They're a year old this spring!!!
 
This is called a "wild" color. When birds are mixed enough, they revert back to this wild variety. At least that is what I was told.

I like this color... take about camouflage!

Lost all my other multiple quotes that I wanted to respond to. Something is off with internet right now and I keep freezing.

Gramma, As for the food for the flock after I combined the 7 week ols and the older layers...
I found Purina "Flock Raiser" at TSC that says it's meant for ALL chickens in the flock. I'm making sure to have calcium (oyster shell or egg shell) out at all times. It's more expensive ($18 and change for a 50# bag) but I will only use it until August when they are all laying age.

I don't know what it is with me and roosters lately. I got rid of one last week who kept challenging me. Now Oscar, my other Australorp roo challenged me yesterday. I'm going to start the football hold thing with him and see what happens. I want to keep him.
I adore my new little tetra tint roo who's 7 weeks old now. He has the tallest, straightest comb and is pure white. I started him with the football hold tonight. Get him off to a good start with me. I need a good name for him yet.

Off to relax. Night!
 
Grain buggy? Tell the store you got it from, cuz they have a problem in their storage area. I would not feed it to my birds, cuz they eat enough bugs without my adding some to their diet. I might mix in some DE and add water to it to make it a tasty treat for my birds. They think their food is something super special when I add water to the dregs from the bottom of the feeder. Silly birds. I would NOT put the bag in my coop/storage area. The risk to everything else in the area is too great and I don't want bugs in the scratch grains I am saving for next winter.

3 chicks. No more pips in this broodies clutch. No word from Grade school on number hatching down there. Will find out Friday, I guess

Dueling broody hens. One of them rolled an egg out onto the table and it didn't stop rolling....it fell off the table the broody boxes are on and broke on the floor. And it was GROWING. I am not amused. But I refuse (due to lack of space) to separate my broodies from the flock, so these things are going to happen and I just have to get over it. Still working on getting over it and it's been hours.
 

The little booger parked its butt against my uterus and bladder curled up and crossed its ankles. They didn't even get all the spine measurements. Maybe I'll find out what I'm having in a couple of weeks.

Of course everyone knows I repackage my feed, but I keep the scratch in a metal garbage can. I used to use it for bird seed and got moths all the time. That was before I learned about DE.
