Any questions on the Sumatra's, be sure to ask! When she gets up tomorrow mark those eggs! Good luck with the hatch! Those blueish Sumatra eggs from my girl "lil blue" always give me pretty or handsome blue to light blue chicks. But like I said, she has been hanging with a blue sumatra roo named "xman" and they did give me one splash. So you might just get lucky.
As for Sumatra roo's, I have one handsome black roo who I am looking to rehome cheaply. He is a good boy who got henpecked and had to be separated from his siblings.
Oh, I'm not waiting for her to get up. I lifted her to the edge of the box and marked the eggs with Ray's carpenter pencil, which was right outside the coop...as soon as I realized my mistake. Gotta love those sneaky hens. LOL
I am sooo looking forward to see what I get from the blue eggs. Blue is about the only color chicken I don't have. Well and wheaten....but I'm not overly thrilled with that color so I don't try to obtain it.
Got the second run done today. The chickens are TERRIFIED of it.
they sound like my Pekins. I change the litter in their run and they won't come out of their coop
. You could very well get blues from the other eggs, but most likely 80% of them will come out black. Seems to be the norm. Either way, Sumatra's are very pretty birds. And if raised in a run, seem to adapt to it well. Good luck and nice meeting you!
