I have two SGE's from Tractor Supply who uses Hoovers and BOTH of them are laying the pinkish brown eggs like you have pictured. The 5% estimate they claim does not seem to be accurate at all. Here are my eggs from my midnight majesty and the SGE's (the very bright dark brown one's are the MM...
I have two starlight green eggers that look similar to her and the eggs are also the pinkish brown rather than green. I think that 5% is a low estimate considering both the green eggers we have lay eggs that are far from green.
would you take a look at my post? I have one with the black at the base of the neck and one that has a comb but the pattern at the neck doesn't break like the other...
Since they use hoover's hatchery and I don't see that breed in the catalog do you think it could be an Americana Cockerel? It looks like some of those photos in there. Either way thank you so much for confirming the cockerel! I hope he is quiet ;)
I think my boyfriend mentioned getting a starlight green egger at Tractor supply and I assumed it would look different than these but in the hoover's hatchery catalog the photo looks exactly like these! I think that is what they are!
These two are stumping me. I've read conflicting sexing info regarding hackle feather shape, wattles and combs and I'm questioning if they are both roos because of this or just one of them or neither. One has rounder hackle feathers and a flat comb area with a wattle and they are very pink...
On this one I'm almost positive she is a hen because I also have 2 silver laced that are the same age and both have combs starting and one has a wattle and she has neither. I'll be posting them next to get opinions on if they could be roosters. Since I'm sure one of the straight run I had...
I have no idea if this is a rooster or a leghorn because he/she reddened up quickly and I didn't think leghorns were a breed tractor supply had offered at the time but it looks so much like one. It is 9 weeks old and super friendly but I see the tail feathers arching a bit and that comb and...
Awesome, that definitely helps me to narrow it down a bit. I got them at tractor supply so i'm going to see what hatchery they use and what breeds they have on their website. Thank you!
Thank you! I am going to do some research and see if i can find out what they are, they are so curious and sweet! They LOVE photobombing when I'm taking photos of them all, they have to have all the attention!
I know we had ordered a green "egger" but I'm not sure if this one is it. We had originally gotten 5 pullets. Found out 2 weeks later that we also had a snake in the basement we didn't know about and 3 of the babies disappeared from the large tub they were in in the finished basement where...
I have 8 chickens who 5 are 9 weeks and 3 are 11 weeks. These ladies (the light tan ones) are 11 weeks old and I think they are buff orpingtons. Am I correct?
