No rooster room here. I have still three silkies who have a date with a crock pot. The other silkie boys need to grow some more first so I can decide who to keep.

Hi all,

I just found this thread (due to not being on a whole lot of "lists") as there is so much more to do in life, especially with a sick husband. Someone recommended this as a good place to ask about where to find different chicken breed "breeders".

So... that is mainly why I am here. I really need to find a good quality Cream Legbar hen. One of my young hens/pullets is laying pink eggs and I need to replace her. I only have four hens and I have no intentions of keeping this hen for chick raising. Anyone know of a breeder who is breeding the lighter cream Cream Legbars?

To top it all off, one of my Partridge Penedesencas, also a pullet, started laying olive eggs instead of the normal chocolate color. Grrrr.... She is officially for sale!

Yes, I live in Washinton... on the great Olympic Peninsula, where a winter windstorm took out my chicken coop. Luckily, no chickens were harmed. They were still sitting on their perchs, with an 18" diameter tree laying within a very few feet of the edge of the roost. I caught all but one by picking them up one by one and stuffing them into a dog crate. It took me two days to catch that last one as I could not find where she was hiding. Then on Sunday, there she was... near my feet and the race was on. Now, just imagine a 70+ year old lady, short grey hair in a wizard style from just getting up, in her nightgown with a purple fuzzy coat over it, and rubber barn boots, wielding a trout net, running after a stressed hen who did not want to be caught. Yep.... should be a cartoon, huh?
I look forward to sharing information and fun times with everyone....

Welcome here, but as for what you are after....I can't help you there.

Total mix of what ?
Are they papered ?

British & American.
Not yet but we're working on it.

This might be useful.? A comparison between feeds. Ofcourse everyone should use what works for them though!

It appears your list of ingredients for Layena is incomplete.... hard to do a "complete" nutrition without all the ingredients.....
