Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

My baby boy Lavender Orp, who was supposed to be a she, crowed today for the first time. What a big sweet guy she has turned out to be LOL !!

The Golden Duckwing Sulmataler cockerel, also sweet as pie, has recovered from his stoner trip 2 days ago.
He took a stoner trip with one of the Wheaten pullets. Both were tweeking all day....All I can think of was they found some shrooms..................those little white inky capped ones ?

Anyways, they are fine now.

Woohoo what a ride! Are you sure the she that crowed didn't go to LA LA land with the other two?

I'd love some input on this folks. My RSL finally started laying (I was beginning to worry that she was old, seems that she just was taking longer to "acclimate" to a new home, and then new flock mates than the others. Great success. My black copper marans seems to also be starting to lay more regularly, but her eggs are splotchy. I kind of like it, but am wondering if this is likely to "clear up" and even out in the future or just kind of be "her thing." Then a new egg showed in the nest box. I am assuming it came from my speckled sussex pullet, but her comb still hasn't reddened up, and we didn't get any fart eggs or tiny or huge ones from her, just a seemingly normal egg from an "adult" bird. Is this a thing that happens? I was always under the impression that you'd get a red comb at the very least before laying.

BCM egg in front, SS egg in back

The pullet eggs may have been the rubbery soft ones and the hens may have just cleaned house. The bcm egg could end up either way, some changes might happen, but that may just be her tag. Beautiful eggs!

How often do you worm in western washington?

 

[Cockatrice6420]

I haven't wormed, per say. I regularly feed mine garlic and onions and haven't seen any indications of infestation.

 

[ochochicas]

I wormed once in January. One hen had worms so I did them all. Haven't really seemed to have a problem with worms.
