Little Blue Eggs

Previous topic - Next topic

Mike Gilbert

It's the summer solstice, June 21, 2016.   Longest day of the year.   I'm starting to find little blue eggs in my pens from my January hatch, and upon examination it turns out they are all from wheaten bantams.   I'm just hoping to keep a few of these birds in condition for Lebanon, but now suspect I started hatching too early.  Luckily there are a few younger wheaten & blue wheaten bantam pullets, but at half size it is hard to know how they will turn out.  I guess there are worse problems to have.

Mike you are fortunate.  I only have chicks yet, very late season for me unfortunately.

I have a few Wheaten as well that are POL. I have been hatching them since late December up until my last setting 2 weeks ago. I then, under strong suggestion from my wife, decided I need to stop collecting. I think I have hatched just over 80 with one little hatch left. I think I should easily be able to pick out a couple really nice quads out of the bunch lol. Hopefully some of the younger ones will finish out for Nationals.

I have a few girls from January but I don't see much about them being near POL.  I think they will be late bloomers.

At 19 weeks some of my bantam lavender and silver pullets are now laying.
