Love it Dirt Farmer.....
Reminds me of the movie "mad City Chickens" where there was the giant chicken called 'big tiny'.
I wonder if Rhode Island Whites were derived from Rhode Island Reds...the resulting chicks from crossing RIR and RIW are...sexlinks, right? and phenomenal egg producers because they are hybrids....(isn't this the cross for Gold Sexlink---? Can't recall just at this moment.)--- Maybe in the future White and Cream crosses will have that hybrid vigor. What about a cross back to the blue side of the family??
Deb!
I love the creative names for your chicken domiciles. :O)

Redchicken9--
Did you look at the insides of the shells wet or dry? My 'wet' (freshly broken) shells are the same color inside and out----but the dry shells have the membrane turning bright white, so the insides look white. A tiny piece of the dry shell with the membrane peeled off--- is same color on both sides.
For 1. I said same inside and outside eggshell color. For 2. I said --- is the Cream Legbar color as 'intense' as the brown egg....Little piece of white shell from another chicken for reference. Brown egg---white inside. For 3. I removed color for a black&white shot to see if the intensity of brown and Legbar color are the same. Experiments in Egg color, I guess.
If yours are white inside when freshly broken, does that mean that yours are coloring a white shell? If there is a blue coating...I want that on top of my blue-gene shell. If that makes any kind of sense at all...lol.

So exciting.....It's about time...

Okay, here's The Compound (to date
, don't tell DH I said that). I keep saying it's like the Winchester Mystery House, never finished building!
"Honey, would you build a chicken house? I'd like to get a few chicks from the feedstore so we can have fresh eggs."
The Egg House
"Honey, could you build another house? I forgot how much I enjoyed chickens. I'd like to get some show birds. I really enjoyed going to the shows when DS was in 4H"
The Show House
(Silly DH thought he was finished with "Phase One"). Boy do those chickens enjoy being under the mulberry tree when the fruit drops.
"Honey, you know we really need to keep each breed separately."
The Poultry Palace
The Palace still needs a couple of more nest boxes, those pullets will be laying soon.
My handsome NH in P4 - yes, that's the code for discussing what pen we're talking about!
"Gee Honey, isn't this breed gorgeous too?"
The Chick Chalet
The pop door/ladders in the Chalet.
No nest boxes yet in the Chalet.
"Honey, we almost have enough runs to separate everyone"
The Hen Haven
Future site of the cyclone growout pens.
The Cockpit (a bachelor pad)
Camp Kenmore (ummm, a growout pen for culls)
and three more as yet unnamed pens.
The chicken yard.
The chicken yard from another angle with the wall hanging I carried home from Cabo.
And a couple of Lakenvelder, just because they wanted their photo taken. Don't mind the ratty juvenile feathers.
Still to go, finish putting roofing panels over all the runs. Install the automatic watering system and after all the heat we've had this summer, I want to install misters all around the edge of the runs.

And I'll admit to being OCD, I only got those feed store chicks in the spring of 2011.
