I would likely sell that one too....well I did ha ha.....just because she looks so raunchy with no butt lol. She never layed super great here either....maybe 3-4 week tops, sometimes 2-3. She still lay about the same? You have lots prettier ones out there. I may re-home the blue girls about fall.....when my others start....same thing, they are not laying super well, one lays little ones about 4 a week, but smaller.....then the other maybe 1 a week but bigger eggs. If I could combine the two it would be great! The bigger one seems to pace all day and want to lay ----stalks the nests all day, bothers the others when they are in the box, but wont stay in the box for more than a minute at a time. Makes some noise while she is at it like she is stressing about needing to lay. Maybe the new home threw her off

She is making me a little crazy. I thought she would stop eventually but not so far. I think Wyandottes are gorgeous but so far for me the laying seems to be so so. Most of my other girls are laying at least 5/week right now---most 6, some 7. If they lay that often and the eggs are good sized, they are keepers for me. HenRee would have been a lifer had she not been mean! Her egg laying is amazing!

I know the wyandottes are not the most consistent layers. I have to admit I didn't know much about them before I got them, but they are pretty. I may have to do some more rearranging, There are so many different colors and egg colors...Jessi was so excited after seeing those blue eggs the other day. She really wants to find some of those in her nest box. Guess I should decide for sure what I want. LOL

I hear ya! I just want one of everything. Look at my flock Sheez! What a mess lol I figure if i am going to have plain tan layers, they have to be good layers like the sex links. I am loving my black one alot. Otherwise the eggs better be cool colors, blue, dark choc, olive. etc. if they are not super layers, at least they are pretty eggs to look at. That is my strategy. Then a few crazy ones for looks like my polish. They are the pets.

No, This is the one that really acts like a Rooster. No Crowing, but I will be really surprised if it is a hen....It is a Beautiful Bird though.

The Monster! Psshhht......sweet little thing. Glad you have groups that are working together. " Integration kinda sucks, yes?"
My new girls are getting harassed quite a bit today. No hurting, just chasing. I am worried about the slow one with the toes curled....so far she is holding her own. The other one is very protective thank goodness and seems to help her fight her battles a little. Hope that does not mean it is a boy, the nose is more pink on that one, but I think it is a girl still. HenRee would have had them plucked and ready for the pot in one day lol so I am glad it is not the group that was in there a few months ago. The newer ones are a bit kinder....I keep throwing new ones in, they seem to be getting more used to the changing faces out there. They better be if they are going to be in my flock haha!

Oh

Blu, I'm sorry. For some reason I was thinking you were the one that had the new girl with the curled toes. I really need to get more sleep before I read through a bunch of posts. Sigh..............

Not a big deal, "IT" is so pretty that I can't complain.

I should really figure out what all I have and write it down so I don't forget.

True Splash Ameraucana (Pure bred)

Is it a boy do you know yet?

Your sparkles looks like an EE to me......did you get it from a breeder? If you got it from local stores like IFA or CAL they sell Araucanas/Ameraucanas and that is what they call them,. that is what is on the sign. They will argue with ya til the cows come home, but they are not true pure ones, so they really are considered EE because they are a mix. Uness they are from a breeder. Where her legs are yellow, likely EE. I saw Cindy post about getting all the breeds written down, I would say EE on that one unless you are sure otherwise

I was wrong about the legs...Hers are a slate/green color. I was confused earlier.
