I just saw your question about the Silver Spangled Appenzeller. It's not. It's a EE. I really like it's colors myself.

Easter Eggers have the blue-egg gene, but are not necessarily a specific breed, although certain breeds such as Ameraucana and Cream Legbars are also Easter Eggers. Your silver EE looks very much like a Silver-Spangled Spitzhauben. Has she laid any eggs yet? Here's a photo of a SS, so you can see the resemblance to your girl:

Yeah, Orloffs are hard to find, and they're beautiful birds.

As for lime, it takes awhile for it to take effect because it takes time to work into the soil and change the pH. It basically makes it less hospitable for fly eggs to hatch. Just casting it in your run a couple of times a year works fine.

Glad to hear you say that about the lime, Ive been doing that same thing, about to do it again! Flies are absolutely awful this year!!
 
I purchased her and two others from w fed store as Americanas. After a little research and some help on this site we decided they were EE. I'll get a few more pics of her in a few when I go lock the coop. She hasn't laid ny eggs yet. She is only 16 weeks old.

I only got the eggs from where a whole bunch were. The white one was one of the ones that didn't need a trade. Was that one of yours? It's a small black chick that is growing feathers fast. It reminds me of a game bird.

Also, this is my goofy husband. One of my neighbor's chicks got in my pen during a storm and was adopted by my silkie. It's a bantam game bird of some kind and a pullet. I told my husband it's going to be funny when it breed with my showgirl, the only kind of rooster in the pen. My husband goes, it'll be a new breed, a Gameshow. :p

probably not. I don't have any white egg layers.

I didn't know you had eggs in the LR,
The chicks are popping like popcorn oh chickcorn, I have the first "M" marked egg hatch and that chick is massive. SOS has hatched more to come JG are hatching, waiting on E's Swedish flower mix has pipped and tiny hens are popping. Pics soon and I hope you can tell which ones are yours, sadly a blue NN pipped wrong and didn't make it.It came out but it hit blood. It was so pretty maybe there is another one.

I did, but I brought you a mixed carton so you got what I had anyway. If it was a brown egg with an M then it's a french black copper maran. If it was a blue egg with an M then it was from my blue egg laying FBCM crossed with the FBCM rooster. It should look exactly like a FBCM but will probably lay an olive egg.
