Rachel requested some chicken, feathered friends, pictures. The first two pictures are our roosters. The first one is a Blue Orpington. He is the Alpha Male, head hon-show, etc. Within 3 minutes of putting him in the pen, he let everyone there know it. They all acquesied immediately. He is two to three times bigger than any of the other chickens. The second one is a Black Copper Maran. When the Maran pullets start laying eggs in 5 months, they will lay chocolate brown eggs. We are excited to start getting them. But right now they are just little, but growing fast. If you saw my post from December, you would have seen some of the chocolate brown eggs...pretty amazing!
Today I had the happy experience of collecting 2 eggs from our brand new pullets. You can't tell in the picture, because of the flash, that the 2 smaller eggs are light brown. They should get darker brown after a little while. I am going to assume these eggs are from the Production Reds. We have been waiting for this to happen...very exciting. Of course from that last statement you can tell we are easily entertained, or, our lives border on complete boredom, take your pick! Those who know us, know we live on the edge!
