I had one or two last year, who are, unfortunately, no longer with us, and I had two this year, one of which also bit the dust (thank you, dear husky dog of mine who got loose...) but have ONE left. AND I have two cuckoo marans who are new this year, so have not laid any yet, but I can't wait for spring when I SHOULD be getting regular browns, two dark browns, and a blue every day, or close. How fun.Dog Hair in my Coffeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11905926891842422113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6191852709009963775.post-70765576263521611432010-11-07T09:49:48.430-05:002010-11-07T09:49:48.430-05:00LOL, that's funny, when I chose my first flock...LOL, that's funny, when I chose my first flock of layers, I chose hardiness in winter, laying ability and then a pretty FLOCK. This time I chose for winter hardiness, laying ability and pretty EGGS! I'm supposed to have one or two that lay dark brown eggs as well! I'm looking forward to opening the box of eggs in the fridge and seeing a variety of colors. Hopefully I'll get at least one blue egg! But I'm thrilled to get a green one. We'll see. My sister-in-law had at least one leghorn, maybe more I don't know and she would say yes, they are flighty, she had a hard time keeping hers in the coop. I've not yet experienced that, but ours are free ranged all over the yard and still young???..... maybe that makes a difference.From the Country Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00125107173747971034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6191852709009963775.post-62237374363602526132010-11-07T09:35:41.503-05:002010-11-07T09:35:41.503-05:00Hurray for multi- coloured eggs!

I have yet to raise leghorns though, I hear they are quite flighty. I have a love for the blue green eggs. I also have some pullets called cuckoo marins that are said to lay dark brown chocolate coloured eggs, time will tell on that!Harvest Kitchen Sistershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00783862213886376760noreply@blogger.com
