I have offers to get Arkansas blue egg layers and Pita Pinta hatching eggs.

You've had Pita Pinta before haven't you? I think I remember pretty white & black ones.

Currently I have Two Arkansas blue egg layers, one Pita Pinta and one Trader Joes hen.

The Arkansas Blue egg layers are a blue black and splash breed. I have a black one and a splash.

Good afternoon everyone. Work is done for the day, I had a very productive day and got a lot of stuff done. I had a customer who tried hard to irritate me but I didn’t let it happen. Hope you all have a great night!

Good for you on not letting them get under your skin! Just one more work day and then you'll have a whole week ahead of you to enjoy

She is going 4 years old. The others are 3 years old.

I need to get some younger ones this year!

I think Persephone laid today, she will be 9 in June. Also one from a nearly 6 year old (she's been laying really thin shells the last couple of years though this one seems OK), the other 3 have already been laying.
2 of the 4 nearly 4 year olds have been laying, never got much out of the other 2, they are Exchequer Leghorns.
The nearly 3 and nearly 2 year olds have all been laying.
No one in full swing yet though.

I'm getting 6 more chicks in June.

Heard a redwing blackbird late this afternoon. I have no idea what that boy thinks he's going to eat while he waits for the girls to show up.

What breed of new chicks will you be getting Bruce? That's great your old girls are laying!

2 Black Australorps (they'll be the 6th I've gotten, still have two from 2015), 1 Golden Laced Wyandotte, 1 Silver Laced Wyandotte, 2 Blue Ameraucanas ... unless I end up with black and/or splash. Chicken genetics you know and it is hatchery choice. They don't list the black or splash individually.

Nice assortment!

I like being able to tell the girls apart. I still have to check the leg bands on the "pair" of EEs, the Columbian Wyandottes and the Welsummers.
