It seems everyone staying home realizing the world was going to end bought up all the hens. I’m really PISSED OFF at my local feed store where I have been buying my supplies for the last 3 years as I was in there 2 times in February and 2 times in March asking them to put me on the order list. They just kept saying to come back in 2 weeks we don’t know what we are getting A DAM LIE I’D SAY! Called back on the phone a week after my last visit SORRY THEY ARE ALL SOLD! Bunch of liars. Seems they must of had a list way before February. fast forward to this past Friday I got a call from a friend “ you still looking for chicken?” I really wasn’t looking for chickens this late in the season but I decided to call the guy to put my name on the list for spring 2021. when I spoke to the fellow he had brown egg layers and blue egg layers. Well I’m a sucker for those blue eggs and besides what kind of a Papa would I be if I didn’t have blues eggs for the granddaughters to gather out of the nest box lol. The picture shows the 2 brown hens that lay brown egg and the white hens with grey splash lay the blue eggs. Eggs will arrive in 3-4 weeks. MikeB , Gatorgirl, BUDMAN and 6 others 9 Awards

We noticed that it was coming, but she seemed better last night, so it was a surprise this morning. There's only one left now here.

Aw!, that's sad, as I said I know nothing about this subject but you may need a new cock?, I can lay my hands (well fingers actually) on one of the finest cocks in the world. A fresh new cock may be the stimulus needed for your household, think hard about it, sorry no pictures my telephoto lens is missing. Now being serious I don't think they do well unless there is a bunch of them as they feel threatened and stop laying. You need at least another two for harmony and their well being. AthenA 1

The white ones (Azure Blues) are quite flighty, very skittish. The browns are more laid back. The browns are production birds and I see their upper beaks have been cut to stop pecking. I would not have ordered them with the beaks cut. I let my chickens free range, they can catch and eat all the bugs, worms, they love grass and weeds. This makes for a far better healthier bird and WAY BETTER EGGS. I'll post pictures when the eggs start. Hunter1948, AthenA and RobMc 3 Awards
