Congratulations!
You know I just noticed how round the cuckoo egg is.....geez that Wellie egg is dark!

I think the camera and the lighting made it look darker than it is in person, we think that both older girls are laying as the eggs look different-now just to get some leg bands on them! They seem to be doing great with the younger group. They are very talkative!!

Congrats Hens and Roos! Nice eggs!

Thanks, my DD was happy to hear that she had identified whose were whose, all based off a feather stuck to the one egg!

Okay question, we have 2 Wellie boys that are 3 months old now and wanted to know at what age they will they reach maturity? We are trying to figure out when we have to separate them from the non Wellie girls so that we don't get surprises when the kids are hatching eggs for 4-H.

4 to 6 mos of age at the earliest.

So to be on the safe side we shouldn't keep them with the other breeds than?
