Yep, pretty sure my olive eggs will be a hit next spring when my OE's are old enough, but an even bigger hit on BYC I'd think to be is my purple layers. . .

Now just if they wouldn't DIE on me in a snowstorm!!!

. . . Next hatch, next hatch I'll have more. . . .

how are the Black Java's temperament? And when will you babies? I might be interested in them

Thanks

not sure when I'll have java babies but most likely end of summer time ;/
still building breeding flock to what I want which takes time.

So far my roo buff orp x leghorn is a bit skiddy but no where as bad as leghorns. I am hatching more to get a hen so I can tell about egg production. BUT my 2 female white leghorns are egg laying machines! they lay about 6 days a week each! been off the last 2 days tho my guess is winter finally caught them (I do not use a winter light for my chickens). also my RIR lays every other day even now. My white wyandottes and EE's should start laying any day now and I might try those mixes as well but my main interest is in the leghorn laying power with my very friendly buff orp roo and his size. If I can get his temperament and the girls egg power in 1 bird then it would make a perfect backyard urban egg machine

(I like playing with mixes and heck if they don't work out there is always freezer camp!)

I do have 2 black monsters that are turning out really pretty. 1/2 Black Jersey Giant and 1/2 Black Star mix. They are Large birds that are Black with red highlights coming through. I will have to get my good camera out and take a photo in the sunshine. The Roo is getting to be gorgeous!

I never got to see those monsters you have, but they are for sure egg factories !

Ya did not see the black ones out running around? The red is hidden unless they are in the light.
