Shelby is in with the Barred Rocks so her man is my Rex. No man of her own kind for her, nope.

Way to go Shelby!

B-E-A-utiful Cyn!

I have 2 lil' baby OEs, one Wheaten and one Blue Wheaten that I'm waiting the long wait on eggs...

I hope their eggs are as pretty as yours.

YIPPEE!!! She laid! WOOT! Beautiful eggie, too! It'll look so very nice in your egg basket, Cyn!

Beautiful hen and gorgeous egg! I can't wait to see if I'll get an egg like that, but I have at least a month to go, maybe longer.

I'm curious about CrazyCatNChickenLady's OE x OE experiment. Do OE roosters carry an olive gene, or is it hit-or-miss? I'm keeping an OE rooster to replace my current aggressive EE roo, so I'll be interested in how your experiment turns out.

Celia's egg she laid today, along with some eggs from a Blue Copper Marans.
