What I was thinking too!

Samantha, I'm sorry about your friend! She's lucky to have you in her life. I have several EE's that have laid blue eggs but they might be Wheatens. I do have a Wheaten girl that has a little black in her wing.

I need to go check out that video. Haven't tried it. We did get our Tolbunt Polish last week and did hold them upside down by the legs to test that theory. According to that, I have 5 boys and 4 girls. We'll see! They are little cuties.

House build is going well so far. They brought a big ole truck full of cement blocks early this morning for the foundation which is already dug and inspected. They broke ground for the garage. The angle of the house is not exactly what we had hoped for but it's not bad. My little lambs are doing well. One loves being with the sheep but the other still loves me. He follows me around all day long. Yesterday he helped me plant herbs. He even goes in the chicken coops with me and just stands and watches until I leave. He is so cute!

Is it time to start complaining about the weather because I'm ready!

I was told in the Amer thread they should be treated as EE...no one can tell me how dominate the Wheaten gene is...one looks like mine but more tan...and I have seen this in others but the smoke colored muffs get me and the one with black is more than a little in the wings...I find more when I look at her. Now I have to decide what to do with them...I can breed and sell a few EE chicks while I continue to hunt a good hen but I have to separate them from my gal because the eggs are IDENTICAL! I won't know which my one pure egg is!! That problem got in my head at 1am and worried me all night!! I do think after talking to a few people with cackle experience that they may be mixed color Amers but I cant risk selling eggs and the Wheaten gene not show so EE eggs and chicks for now

Atleast I will have some pretty eggs for my eating dozens!!

Hmmm...I may see if Gus would like a couple more ladies?!

Samantha, I am so sorry, nothing like being let down. YOu knew what you wanted, and then didnt get it. On a good note here, I may have found a D'anver, just need to figure out the logistics, and then make a place for the trio. They are yearlings, and so havent fully colored in, but sound like they are from good show stock.

Susanne, I know you are so excited to be able to watch all the progress of the house going up. Cant wait to see the finished product.

I've had mottled eggs, spotted eggs and speckled eggs but I've NEVER had feather footed eggs!

 

[dixiebeast]

Hey I have an open pen...wink...wink...if you need help with that part!! Its empty until those mottled ,feather legged eggs go in!! LOL

Seriously...congrats!!

Part of me wishes I just had not went for them but they are pretty and lay a good egg...I will just have to be sure I can keep thier eggs apart from my wheaten is all!! They are super sweet and friendly, she had put alot of love into those gals and needed to rehome them...and its not everyday I drive over 2 hours only to find I grew up right up the road and know her Aunt very well!! We had a huge small world experience!!
