Good job Merida! First egg from our @dheltzel Silver Welbar. She's one of the loudest in the coop, and she was even louder today coming out of the nesting box. Hope it's not an April fool and she starts to lay regularly.

when and where does the chicken train travel? And do you have white muscovys for sale? Have my heart set on them since motorcycle chick told me I may have purchase them from tsc. I looked into the breed an fell in love. My ducks did turn out to be pekin. Their legs and beams are orange now.

No muscovies yet. Just the Welsh Harlequins.

Biggest hatch of the year (so far) this weekend. 214 out of the incubators, at least 15 more still drying off and not counted yet.

So pretty--both the hen and the egg! Thanks for posting!
 
My first pure silver welbar eggs went in to the incubator yesterday. I'm hoping for good fertility :)

I had a great morning at the TSC swap today. It was freezing cold but I managed to unload about 12 poults, all my male chicks, a few mixed breed chicks, and a CCL pullet. Really not bad for a smaller than normal crowd.

I also found someone to split a chick purchase with me so I didn't need to buy 6 of them. I wanted a couple gold laced seabrights before they were gone since I had one tiny little serama hatch from @sally sunshine eggs. I wanted some more bantams to keep her company. They're a week older than she is though and even though they're tiny, they still look like LF next to the little serama baby.

Thanks @hyzenthlay! Our CCL "Ohagi" is the same age so I'll post when she lays her first egg too. She's a lot more timid than brave Merida.

How many weeks old are they, if you know? I'm interested to know about when the Welbars and CCLs start to lay.

My OE (Welsummer x CCL) that just started laying was 28 weeks old, at least a month later than the Buff Orp that hatched on the same day. It was worth the wait, though. :)

Hi @hyzenthlay. Hatch date for both was Friday, September the 9th. So 29wks 1 day.

Do you have a picture of your Olive Egger? Just wondering if it gets a full CCL crest, or half sized crest?

She has just a bit of a pouf, hardly enough to call a crest. But she is hatchery bred, so even her CCL parent probably wouldn't have anything close to the crest on one of dheltzel's CCLs. These are Hazel's pics from last weekend, right after her first egg.

Very pretty! Lovely flecks of gold in her neck. She looks brown, I was expecting more of a grey. Thanks for sharing the pictures of Hazel!
