Congrats!

You have a very nice egg basket!

You will figure out who lays the pretty egg soon enough. For now just tell them all that they are good girls!

Thank you! Until I decide if I want to "specialize" in a breed(s), it's all about egg color!

I am beyond excited because today...I found a SPECKLED dark olive egg in the nest box!!!! Saving those light olive speckled eggs for hatching is paying off!!

...and the two-tone just adds to the coolness!!

Those are beautiful egg colors TammyTX!
Next thing you know, you'll be saving them for projects (at least that's what happened to me).

I got my first dark olive egg from the birds I hatched in February. The only problem is the egg was on the floor of the coop so I'm not sure who laid it! It's like Christmas! haha!!

February?? I hatched some on March 2...this means we're getting closer!! Oh boy!! That is a lovely plate of eggs! Do you by chance use fermented feed?

Someone on the FB page just told me you get sex linked chicks when breeding a slate shanked ameraucana roo to a yellow legged welsummer hen. Pullet chicks will all have slate or willow green legs and cockerals will have yellow or white legs and gave a genetics reference: http://www.edelras.nl/chickengenetics/mutations2.html Knew some others had am roos and wel hens so thought I'd share.
