Got my first BCM pullet egg last night

Not very dark, but had a ton of very dark speckles. I hope that means the paint booth just isn't complete.

incubating by July

Awesome!!! How old is the momma?

you know I thought a lot about what I had when I got Ameraucanas I heard a lot about Easter eggers and egg color and all that is a lot of crap and just that. go to the Ameraucana breeders ***. web site an look at the pictures that their members post . that is of course after you read the breed standard which does not include a single picture. I bet that each and every one of you will find a picture that looks just like one or more of you chickens. again posted by their members . So If I sound a little P.O.ed its because I am the reason my chickens are no good is because I didn't buy chickens from them . It took me years to over come the label that came with the horse business and how you could not trust horse trainer or trader roomers started by other horse trainers who would come to buy my horses and tell me they were not worth what I wanted for them and already had the horse sold for a higher price . the way I see it horse people don't have anything on large chicken breeders. If you had brought your chickens from them then they would be the greatest chickens in the world, and look just like what you have now . Do not base your opinion of you're chickens on what someone else tells you study the breed. pick the birds you like and breed from there. If you go to a pure breed chicken show hosted by a Breeders ***. the chances are the judges will be large breeders and members of the ***. and the winners will be likewise. remember believe none of what you hear and only half of what you see. btw did I tell you I'm old so I can say what I want to.

Ugh! Just got done multi-quoting a bunch of people I've been meaning to respond to since yesterday...I really went all out. I'm holding a sleeping baby and typing on my phone. Baby jerked and my finger slipped and it must have hit sign out!!! I really wish I knew what to type on my phone to show the little guy banging his head against the wall!!!!

Almost exactly six months. I have 4 pullets to go along with Tate from a New Years hatch. If they all start laying within the week, I will be incubating by July. I'm fairly certain Tate is holding up his end of the deal

I know a few of the emojis, but not that one. I hate it when that happens

Did you know she's a member here? I order my egg labels from her, and they are great. I've seen her on the Brinsea website, and in Backyard Poultry magazine (or was it GRIT?). She's making quite a name for herself, and she's very nice and responds to questions

No, but I have often wondered.

Keep an eye on him. It will either get better or worse. Sometimes they will regain the strength on their own, but if you notice him laying down with one leg out to the side, go ahead and strap him

Yay!!!

I think I got my first "fart egg" yesterday....lol My polish laid this itty bitty egg (smaller than anything she ever laid even when she first started laying.) And either some unencased yolk or something cause the egg beside it was sticky and yellow. Unless the other had a yolk problem.

My silkies lay those all the time. Since I'm not as crass as you, I call them Milk Duds
