I'll have to see how they look as they age but my current theory is they are F2. Possibly back crossed to a marans because they claim a "darker shade of olive. Or possibly fibro Easter Eggers mixed with marans.
what's weird is that they all are pretty much copies of each other as is but they still wont say in most cases. I've seen some say f2 OEs but that's about as specific as they get
This makes sense.
yep!
That should be interesting! Looking forward to your new adventures in the blue/green egg layers.
Thank you! What breed of pullets are you getting??That's awesome. Happy things are working so well and you have many layers to sustain many people!! Certainly helps with the cost of feed!
Two more Buff Orpingtons. Choices are very limited when ordering started pullets and I did not want to risk getting more hybrids even though I love the EEs. We have had bad luck with all the RSLs and EEs previously. The Orp has been a consistent layer, almost every day (thank God) and seems healthy. Given our required small number restriction of four total we could only acquire two more. Then there's Goldie - most would cull her due to her taking up valuable space and consuming feed but we just can't do it. She's resilient and been through so much. Still very fubar. Every day is different with her and it's a gamble. We decided to let nature run it's course to allow her to be a chicken for as long as she is able.
