The Front Porch Swing

I cross my Araucana rooster on all kinds of hens. Leghorn eggs produce blue egg laying pullets. Cuckoo Marans eggs produce olive eggers. Barred Rock eggs make pretty green eggs. Game hen eggs make pretty mint green eggs.

I love colored eggs!

Does the Leghorn/Araucana cross make a blue egg layer? Colors could be fun!

I've heard that they are mixing leghorn with cream legbars. That's supposed to be Super Blue. On one of the egg hatching sales.

My cross bred pullets look like Araucanas with their rumpless little butts!.

Oh this color stuff could be very very interesting, not to mention fun. I've got a dozen teal blue colored eggs going in the incubator as soon as I get the temp regulated. I was told they are Araucanas.

I have colored eggs in the incubator now! I have a off colored blue Ameracauna rooster and a Black Copper Marans rooster over EE hens and Golden comet hens..... I should get some great colors out of them! I'm hoping anyway.... if they hatch since the power went out yesterday.

Ms Blooie thinking about you and wishing you had some of our Oklahoma weather right now. It's been 84* this afternoon and it is still 82 at 7:30 If wishing would get it there you would be needing shorts right now.

So much fun stuff with chickens... meat chickens, all the different feather colors AND all the color combinations of eggs! And you can do it all so fast compared to other animals. And when all is said and done you can eat the results! I like doing things that make me think.

I have a chance at getting a 3 yr old male GP dog for free and I'm praying about it. We don't really NEED such a dog and he is still intact, which is not the greatest, but Mother has approved if I want him and Jake is really lonely and would love a companion. We already have an extra collar or two for the electric containment system, so that would be no problem.

I need to pray about this and see if this is something out of my own heart, or if this is of the Holy Spirit. It will hinge answer from the Holy Spirit on it,on the dog's temperament and if he is still available when we get back from visiting Dad this week.

I guess the guy said about 4 people have really wanted him and said they would take him and then never showed up to get him nor called again. He said he is currently tied up because they can't keep him at home...they have 112 acres and cattle but they can't keep him on their property. Says he has been around chickens.

Sounds promising! Praying for you!

Bee....can you help me again? Got a 3 gallon bucket, four poultry nipples and no idea where to install them.....for your little chicks I noticed they were on the bottom, but for the bigger ones you had a cup on the side. My girls are pretty good size, but would I still put them on the bottom?

EDIT: I lied ....it's a 2 gallon bucket.
