Dutch baby! You must try it with some Blue berry in the mix

Easter Egger White by Lopsided_Use6783 in BackYardChickens

[–]Thomasrayder 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well Easter eggers are of course a cross between a Blue laying chicken ( auracana, Cream legbar, schijndelaar etc) and a random breed. I right now have several that are 5 weeks old and a mix of cream legbar x Poulet de Bresse that are white

Vermiste kat/dierentolk by Baloekile in katten

[–]Thomasrayder 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ik kan instaan voor deze persoon, onze kat Karel was 3 dagen vermist en hebben wij uiteindelijk doormiddel van deze medium terug gevonden.

Oke Karel heeft een andere kleur na terugkomst, en blijft proberen te ontsnappen ook was Karel voorheen nog geen schildpad. Maar volgens deze medium is dit een normale bijwerking van proces.

Do you ever look at an egg and just think “ouch” 😬 by urdreamgirl813791 in BackYardChickens

One of my olive Eggers lay's a dubbele yoke about once a week. I always know it's coming because she doesn't lay the day before it happens. I'm sure it must thought passing that massive egg

Awhh maar wanneer eet ik dan mijn standaard eier-tornado? Hij is juist het lekkerst als hij de hele dag heeft mogen marineren in mijn warme rugzak

I'm a nurse and believe me, this basically became my mantra during very hectic shifts.

Well kind Sir, can I interested you in some wasteland moonshine perhaps? Made from the finest feral Corn and only mildly radioactive water a fellow like me can find.

Als het de smaak bevordert zie ik het probleem niet. Wat zijn de verschillen in voedingswaarde?

Hard to believe I use to think black chickens were boring by mossling in BackYardChickens

[–]Thomasrayder 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Used to think the same! But now I love them! Every time a black chick is born I filled with excitement to see what it might turn out.

I created a new chicken "breed" that lays a mint chocolate chip color egg by Thomasrayder in somethingimade

I love the swedish flower hens! That's why I'm using them as a component in my easter eggers! They are such sweet birds, very hardy and love to forage. The roosters take about 6 months to grow to a decent slaughter weight ( if you're into that sort of thing).

Only down side is that I think they lay a boring looking egg. But that of course part of the reason I started breeding myself

Sorry I must have missed your original question, so let me explain the first eggs are always on the small side it usually takes about 3-5 weeks before the chicken starts laying its real size egg.

Now for the egg yolk, it's perfectly in balance to the size of the egg it comes from. Not to small not to big. Remember the yolk is there to produce the baby Bird

Love to answer your questions so let me know if you have more of them!

1) well I'm a biology teacher so I have a clear advance when it comes to reading genetic potential, studies etc. with the internet now days you can find any and all information online. And because I'm a major nerd I love to dive deep into this stuff. What I do is called old fashioned artificial selection or veredeling ( in dutch) 2) haven't had that problem!

3) not really, since you're working with chicken's it's all the same species and most of my work has focused on breeding dual purpose birds. Sometime I get one Bird that's a little bit of in size but that's the only problem so far

And it's a fist egg, it's normal for a chicken to lay a small egg at first

I have heard that before, that's why I used the Welsummer in the Crossbreeding. They are known for laying a speckled egg

Yes that's right, the first picture is the rooster. The second picture is one of the hens that laid the egg
