Another pic of some nice pullets I had.

Pullets.....no matter the breed change egg size and color as they age. Generally(not always). Once a pullet reaches 18 months old the size of egg has been reached. You will get double yolkers, and double eggs here and there. The color continues to change threw the life of the hen. During spring the colors are lighter and deepen as the year progresses on some hens. Even during molt the eggs can lighten and they can stop production all together. Most of the changes are not notable. Various chicken breeds emerge in different shades because of pigments which are deposited as the eggs move through the hen's oviduct. The pigment depositions are determined by the chicken's genetics and health and age.

Thank You

.. I appreciate your explanation...so much to take-in & retain.

Tose are beautiful WyandotteTX! I am looking for hatching eggs, so if you can think of ANY leads, I would be very grateful! The only ones I have seen so far available (that I could find online) were very "cuckoo" looking, not the nice crisp barring like these birds.

I'm looking to find someone who has and are willing to sell SL and Partridge Wyandotte hatching eggs. . Could someone please point me in the right direction? I'd like to buy both at the same time and I'm just a backyard chicken enthusiast wanting to add a few to my small flock. Many thanks!

Try Chickenhill Farms.....she started with Foley stock and I'm happy with the chicks she sent me!

I am looking for someone (preferably in central Texas or maybe DFW area) with BLR OR SLW, for reasonable prices. I can't seem to find any non hatchery birds in this areas. Problem is I only need one of each to finish out my backyard flock, so ordering/shipping is hard. Any ideas?

I haven't ordered from Tisha for the SL and Partridge but she is lovely and extremely helpful!
