I am pumped for my first hatched/raised here birds to be giving me eggs...I wanted BCM and Ameraucanas....can't afford it, but I got some nice color!

My Welsummer started out very light but darkened up after 3-4 eggs.....spray booth tuned up I guess - 12 eggs out of her so far.
My maybe olive egger that I hatched out of a fairly dark brown egg from a friend (we think maybe an amberlink covered by one of 2 EE roos) has been between a nice pretty nice olive but sometimes green - 28 eggs from her so far.
One of the hatchery EE's has given a pretty nice shade of blue - only 4 eggs from her so far, so we'll see how it progresses.

I have one more EE to start laying and a couple light brahmas...but I am really excited to have these girls and a Welsummer rooster to hatch eggs from next late winter/early spring..


Here's my Pullet Palette:

Thanks Laura. I took that picture last fall and have since cut down the Cherry on the left and three tall Pines on the right. I uploaded the picture as a test.

Taprock, congrats to Von with the turkeys! Hope he does well at the auction.

Cochins are a good choice for beginning showers, especially children - they are docile and easy to handle, and in some colors such as white and black are easier to find better quality birds.

My white leghorn bantam. Pullet or cockerel? Took this yesterday, comb is bigger today.
