If you read reviews on McMurry hatchery’s site about WTGs there are some people saying their birds did not lay green eggs. While I don’t know the genetics of these birds there is probably a chance that a certain percentage of them lay something other than green.

Yes, I’ve never seen one quite like her

I’m sorry for your loss. I lost a three year old EE in a very similar fashion this winter(without the bloody vent)

She came from Hoovers. I ordered assorted marans, prairie bluebell eggers, Andalusians and assorted rare breeds. (The mostly white one) About 8 weeks old so obviously I don’t know her egg color yet. She is definitely interesting to look at with her gray head and red chest and highlights.

Almost all grown up now, and her name is Abigail (although I still call her baby girl or pretty girl, and DH calls her Kat-with a K cuz the orange is Cat-with a C😆)

Update: so this week I found out that our local Fleet Farm is selling chicks this year. I texted my husband showing the cute little things… Turns out he KNEW about them and didn’t TELL me!!! So to punish him I let him think that I was bringing some home. (Even though I didn’t at the time….I’m...

Ooo a pretty little sign sounds like a great idea too! Have fun picking out the decorations!🤗

It’s very nice! I would add painted daisies to match that white head floof !!

Hard to tell if you don’t know much more than “they are egg layers” does that mean they are an actual breed or a barnyard mix? What color eggs did they come out of? My first thought with a white egg layer with a single comb and yellow legs would be a leghorn, but idk.

White ones?😆😆😆

It’s too early to tell the gender. Post again in 6 weeks or so?

As long as they have warmer and cooler areas to go to they’ll do their own thing. I have found over the years that as long as there is a place to get warm when they want it, baby chicks don’t seem to require quite as much temperature control from YOU as it first seems when you start reading up...

Very cute!

Well if she is near the end you’d better make sure she has a couple extra eggs to sit on just in case they are the last chicks she’ll hatch. (This is often a very overlooked calculation in chicken calculus)

It depends on where you go. Tsc requires 4 minimum- I think they are in on the whole chicken math conspiracy
