My Easter Egger is the sweetest and quirkiest! And they lay green or blue eggs... just some for thought..

I would *love* blue or green eggs! I'll look into easter eggers but so far I haven't seen any down my way.

I went for a looksee because I was wondering if the term *easter~egger* might be an American thing [it's not] & got this link:

They do fertile eggs ~ or are you after POL? I do POL 'cause I'm a woos that way.

Backyard Chicken Coops links you to sources.

I've never used them this way but I did source my seller through them & have been very happy with the quality of her birds.

Definitely pullets for me! I haven't the heart to get rid of cockerels.

Update on roosting... I think they are figuring it out.. how I could tell.. the poop was under some of the roost farther down! Didn’t want to post a pic of that ... but looks like they are spreading out

And went to TSC and they replaced the one I lost.. so now I have a new Nina and she fit right in with the babies and mama without a hitch! ... I think she is a mottled

I've had to do it once & it was awful knowing they were going to be somebody's dinner eventually but they were really nasty birds ~ just not to me. Great guard birds. No~one could get near the place if they were out & about. So never again. If I was on property & totally free ranging I would do it but I'm not & really have no need of a rooster.

This is the glory my spoilt girls woke up to this morning ~ & yes, they saw it. The coop faces east.​

Amazing.

Amazing.

I feel so blessed. The sunrise disappears so fast. It was brilliant red when I got up & I missed it hunting for footwear & camera.
