Hi joshm97, I live on the west coast near Seattle,WA, too far to ship when they do start laying.He had previously been the new guy on the block and could have been bullied by the "aggressive" Narrangansett I was warned not to turn my back on. The Jake is protective of his hens (what are they called if they are only in their first season of lay?) but he is not aggressive at all he just watches over them. We thought if we gradually spent more time with them and build their trust we might be able to get them a little tamer.Is that possible to do?
Thanks for your response. The flock seemed much calmer today since they were able to range all day in the 45' x 25' garden area that is totally fenced in. We have a "movable "hoop coop" that my DH built and put it up again the gate so they could choose to get in out of the rain if they wanted.

I love my midget whites,they are very friendly, the girls fly, the guys won't go in at night unless I direct it. They are good layers, their eggs are always in top nests {chicken nests} and very clean. This is the first year laying and they have not gotten broody yet. Problem is they are rare and there is no one close that sells them. They must be shipped and that means 15. Wish someone else around here had some so I could get a new male next year.

NOT FUN! I've got one broody Royal Palm and two broody geese. The Royal Palm turkey scares me more than the geese and there are two of them.

This is what eggs I have gotten from my Red Bourbons in the picture I did not know there was such a difference in the colors.
If the weather would straighten up and stay warm for more than a day out of every 5.
Today it has snowed 5 days ago it was in the 70s what the heck.
