oh!! my dottes are about 14 weeks thought i would get eggs about 18 weeks geeze.....just have to be patient i guess!! LOL

My SLW were around 23 weeks when they started laying. They're hatchery quality but I love them and their cream colored eggs all the same.

I thought I had found some dottes... Craigslist guy had a quad for sale. Pics attached were beautiful so I went to get them. They were nothing like the pics and weren't even dottes! They were blue cochins and one looked like an Australorp! So sad

I lost my last pullet from last year . So sad... We found her in the coop with a broken neck and nothing else. I hate how all of these "freak accidents" keep happening to my birds... I had one bird get a broken neck from a guinea jumping off the coop and landing on her. So frustrating!!

In your opinions does this chart of feathers show a good example of ideal silver laced male saddle feathers along with defective ones? I did the idealized from memory so probably need to go back and perfect it. Is this chart helpful in showing a decent variety? Should I take on out? include another defect?

(from left to right) Idealized, natural, (5 defective feathers) to much white and to narrow(?), Black fades out at base, discoloration on white with right side with uneven color, discoloration on white center pattern not shown, black disappearing to much white in feather.
