Congrats on the new egg Brad. I've been waiting on a girl too. She will be the first hen to lay from one of my girls, and a rooster I had for a while. The roo was an EE. Mama is a sex link..ha..will be interesting to see what color the egg will be. My guess is brown. Now, on the other one that is close behind her in laying, unless she lays first for some reason, is one that has the same dad, but mom came from a beautiful Olive Egg..just beautiful, but, she laid a brown egg. I'm hoping with having that green gene..she will be one to lay a nice green egg. Crossing fingers.

Mystery eggs! Love them! I had a Barnyard Cross over an EE and got a mint color egg with brown specks. My favorite egg by far. Maybe you'll get something like that?

spent a little time today getting my coop ready for winter. its cold out for sure. but my coop is warm. and i got my first egg from my brahma today. good size egg for a new layer. she sure took her time laying but i knew it would be longer than a lot of other breeds. been impressed with brahmas so far. been happy with all my new girls. and i tell you my austrolorp has become one of my favorites

Ohhh how old is she the-bird-man? I have a Brahma pullet that is my last one to lay and I am wondering how much longer.
 
@sideWing, how about some more pics of your SLW!?!?! :)

In the mean time, here is mine after her recent molt:

I have a question... who was it that goes to Arizona for the winter? does anyone know what part? My parents decided that they were going to pack up their RV and move to Bouse AZ for the winter... (yeah, I'm not happy about the decision tbh...). But if said person was in the same park, I'd tell them to get to know them ;)
 
So a typical Saturday morning at my house, my former head hen (she has been taken down a notch or 2 as the new members are adults and shaking things up) got a bath in the bathtub (had to do a check on her feet since she is a recent bumblefoot sufferer. She is molting so she laid a very soft shelled egg and it was smeared everywhere on her so she got a spa day. Her feet are completley healed! I started with Tricide Neo soaks about 5 weeks ago, 3 soaks the first week, 2 the next and once a week after. They are entirely healed and healthy and clear!
Then I went on to do the monthly chicken health checks.....The Brahma rooster was a mess. He is missing a outside claw not sure how that happened, let's just say he was NOT a member of the fluffy butt club. I wish I could have got a picture of the beast finally caught and held but I was very happy that once I had him secured and in the bathtub he was a complete angel. Imagine my at least 18 lbs rooster just standing between my knees getting his feet administered to with no drama whatsoever.
Does anyone with feathered feet birds know....is it normal for the feathered portion of the feet to look red and angry almost all the time?
