Starlight Green Egger

Those bigger pink combs look male. Were the sexed?

They were supposed to be sexed. They are really big now and still don't act like roos.

I saw your older pictures and they look like lovely pullets.

They were still small and light compared to our leghorn roos at that age.

The tail set, and body type, as well as the larger combs make it look like there's some leghorn type of bird in the breeding.

They are 12 weeks this week. I need to get some updated pics again this weekend. They are such pretty girls. They are very friendly and active.

Our kids named all our girls flower names so the brown marked one is Tigerlilly and the white marked one is Marigold.

This was what I thought was really neat. This is the image of the Bluebell Layers. It seems like our Starlight girls got very similar to these, so I would be interested in knowing what they were bred with.

Have you had any experience with this breed? I am anxious for them to start laying. My kids are so excited as we only have white and light brown eggs now.

No experiences with this exact mix. They should start laying anywhere from 5-6 months of age if they are like other Easter egger type birds.

+12 weeks

Here are my girls this evening free ranging before bedtime. They aren't changing much at this point. I assume they will thicken up a little more and their combs will mature a little more, but we probably won't see a lot of big changes from here.
