RE: I Gots Me A Green Eggy! - ColorChallenge: ThursdayGreen
I've been thinking about it myself!! I have an EE roo, and wellsummer hens! Haha maybe I should hatch some of their eggs to see if I'll get Olive Eggers whenever they start laying!
I love talking chickens! Haha keep it up!
I am interesting in breeding also. However, I was slightly detered at the thought of breeding for egg color cause that's a very very long project!!
I feel you are interested in chatting further with me and chatting with other like-minded individuals, would you consider joining our chat group? https://steemit.com/steemithomesteaders/@greenacrehome/announcement-steemithomesteaders-slack-community
Cool, another new social media service to learn, lol. I'll give it a try, thanks.
Yes, its 5-6 months from birth before they start laying, and then the 2nd generation is 5-6 months after that, so a full year. Gotta be in it for the long haul, for sure. Just something else that I find cool about chickens. I'm also considering just sticking with one heritage breed and trying to help preserve that breed for the future. Then again, I also want one of every breed. Ugh, so much fun to be had its hard to decide :)
Man, we are on the SAME!!!! Wavelength! I have three blue langshans pullets and one bantam blue langshans roo. I think imma breed them! I love heritage breeds! I have also four IDIOT salmon Faverolles. Man they are DUMB. haha but they are really cool!
