So the one thing I miss most about my hens the dumb dog killed is the blue eggs. I got a bunch of EE eggs and hatched them, ended up with 27 chicks, I picked 6 for their beards or tufts (and the best coloring), sold the rest. Then I was depressed because 5 of 6 appeared to crow
Then, on Monday, we separated out the 5 "boys" and put them in a bachelor pad. One of them got frequent flyer miles escaping the new run time after time. The last time, upon returning to the run, we began to think "he" is a she (based on the fast reaction of one of the
confirmed boys and the hysteria that ensued) So we grabbed her and dropped her in the layer run with my very best roo (cause he takes excellent care of his ladies) and all was peaceful.
So now I have 2 girls that might give me blue or green eggs.
Last night, my kids had a big end of school year party and several ended up spending the night. One of her friends (and my personal favorite) sticks her head in my room and says, real casual like "Hey, you want any fertile Americauna eggs?"
YES! "K, I'll can probably get a dozen or so this weekend, I'll bring them to your office on Monday." SWEET!!!!
More EE's for me!
