She was ordered from Hoover’s Hatchery rare breed hatchery choice.

I got a couple this year too. She looks a lot like my dark girl.


It will be fun to see how they lay and what color eggs we get.

I love that breed! I think she's a girl, very pretty!

 

[so lucky]

I got one too, this year. She's the smallest of my girls, but is right in the middle of all the action. She's a very good forager, even as young as she is.

Does your’s have the yellow legs too?

Does your’s have the yellow legs too?

Yes! Very yellow and a craaaazy beard too.

They are a hybrid with Leghorns and who knows what else in there.
I am hoping for better luck with these than I had with EE's.
I had birds with genetic issues anytime I tried EE's.

I have some EE's too that are younger.

I don't dislike the breed at all. I just seemed to end up with the ones that had issues.
Mine had issues ranging from crossbeak to never making shells and even split wing.
I do feed a high quality feed too.

What eggs I did get were very pretty mint green or pale blue.

This year I am trying the green layers and the bluebells in hopes of pretty blue and green eggs again.

My Prairie Bluebell eggers seem to be growing so much faster than my Production Blues did. I have four that are all different colors.
