Yes the price of the eggs is really high.  Would have turned my hair gray if wasn't already gray.  I just wondered.  because the blue eggs i'm getting from my Americana seem pretty pale.  I wanted to get some really pretty blue eggs.  I also had not see a really good Marin egg.  when I ordered the olives she also sent 3 marin eggs.  I was amazed.  One of them is the biggest prettiest egg I have ever seen. Looked like shiny chocolate.  I told hubby if it hatches I am keeping that chick.  She sent the three purebred marin eggs as a bonus.  Her olive eggs were dark and big as well really pretty.  I have 2 marins.  One isn't laying yet or even close the other is a copper and she lays brown egg not chocolate oness.  I wonder if she is a sex link.  She has the same color as my black sex link but isn't as big.

I got my Marans hen from Steve in Lehi. She took the longest to start laying. I'm happy with the color but it's not show-off good. I've noticed the longer between eggs the darker they are. I'm more interested in blue too, still with good size - still looking for that source. I hope you get a shiny chocolate egg! I won't know about my olives until fall.

Mommahen Welcome!

THis is what I meant...I have been teasing Cynthia about her declaration of being done hatching, when you said you had free EE eggs I thought her wheels are gonna be Turning!! haha because I do not know if she can help herself

I know you were teasing Cynthia. But my incubator is in the closet - and I think I declared 'done' on another thread - but did set one more round of my blue eggs - don't tell hubby - so I was teasing back.

We all knew that and as long as your not coming out of the closet you secret with hubby is safe

Lola is the delaware chick, right? I'd be happy to take her! Could I keep her with the older hens I'm getting from you, or should I get another chick her age? I don't want her to be alone.
...I knew it was only a matter of time before chicken math struck.

I was wondering if you could take Lola with you so that Red could come get her from you in Taylorsville it is closer I cannot keep her at the pool. But if Red cannot you are welcome to her too. I just want to make sure Red has dibs if she wants her This is one of her faves If you do keep her joybells she will need to be seperate from these big girls just a bit longer, my big girls have been introduced to young 'uns several times, they are getting more used to it but big ones always freak out at first. I would say in two weeks, put her in a cage near them so they can all see each other, after a week of that then try releasing her, being sure that there are some hiding places close in your run, even a box with a small doorway cut out that she can run into, a few sticks in the corner, just some sort of hiding spot. She may hide a bit at first but then will slowly get braver as she gets bigger, they ignore her more and more, then voila you are done. It does take some patience and a couple weeks though If you decide no, and Red decides no it is no problem!

I'd be more than happy to hold on to her and help her get to Red, if that what works out. Though I don't know how long I'd be able to keep her for Red, because I'm just in Taylorsville visiting with family for a while, and would like to get back home with the hens so that I can get them comfortable. I'm sure what ever happens, it'd fit into my plans.

Ok Red if you want Lola post here by 9 am I will check in to make sure. I can give Joybells your number.....or you hers, then you could work out a meeting spot. If you do not then I will bring her for you joybells ok ? Call me if you decide not to take her by 9 and i will leave her here Thanks so much! If I do not here from you i will bring her.

Daloorashens, I talked to Michelle again, I am going Tue to pickup the Marans and olive eggers. The olive eggers are black, with silver tips and chests. They are from her silver ameraucanas crossed with a FBCM And they are gettting pretty big maybe 9 weeks plus she said. If for some reason you want me to leave yours there so you can get them sooner than I can drive them back up to you, let me know, otherwise I will pick them up for you.

love the chicken shuttle. I wonder if our girls had any idea how hard we work to get them to their happy homes if they would lay more eggs for us

You are pretty sneaky....setting eggs...IN the closet.....WITHOUT the hubby noticing lol! That is way too funny. I get it now! Finally! That age thing.....and hey I might steal that idea because the temp fluctuates so much in m y bedroom from the afternoon sun, my bator is all over the place. The closet might work really well!
