Reshare of one of my fave egg baskets from spring for this post because alot of the girls are slowing down and shedding feathers everywhere these days.

I'm going to do a post (or 3 πŸ˜‚) over the next while with details on plans for 2027....website ordering, what I'm offering, etc.

In the meantime.......I have a few people who requested pushing their orders to next season. I've emailed all of you on that list so can you please take a look (check spam if you don't see it). If I missed anyone, please message me!

NEXT YEAR...

FEEDBACK VERY WELCOME HERE! 🀍

Planning a few changes for next year, both in what I'm offering (nothing new, but simplifying things a bit) & how I'm going to offer things.

How much do you all want to hear about why I'm thinking the way I'm am? Or do you just want to hear what the changes are? πŸ˜‚

One of my biggest changes, as I've mentioned in a much earlier post, is that all orders are going to go through the website next year. I'll chat about that again in more detail, but for now I'm wondering WHEN would you all like to see website preorders open?

I genuinely would love feedback on this. Obviously, I'm going to do what works best for me but as I've already had a few people reach out about next season, I'm curious......how early do people like to plan & commit to what they are hatching next season?

For everyone who said that the pretty black Olive Egger in my last pic was going to lay soon.....

Thank you, because she obviously heard you hahahaha.

And she did not disappoint.

So I WAS trying to get a picture this Welsummer pullet on her own yesterday to do a post on why it's sometimes impossible to identify chicks if I don't know what egg they came from.

But between the rain & thunder, plus the cat jumping over the fence & scaring everyone, I gave up & that's for another day.

Instead here's a pic of 4 of this year's growouts (because honestly I sat out there in the rain so long trying to get pics that I have to share one of them hahaha) ...Welsummer at the top, Olive Egger beside her (seriously...how gorgeous is she??!!) & 2 Silverudd's Blue pullets. I'm pretty excited to have black Silverudd girls this year since that wasn't possible last year with the way I had the birds set up.

None of these girls are laying yet, but anytime now would suit me just fine haha.

As usual, I can never decide which pic to post... sometimes you have to ask your bestie and she picks one, so here it is...

Breeding for egg color/speckles/bloom is always one part genetics & one part luck. Truthfully. The more generations of intentional, selective breeding, the more consistent the results, but there is always the chance that what we hope for is not what we get.

I've had a couple pullets this year lay eggs that underwhelmed me haha.

That is not the case with this lovely lady however.
She's a Silverrudd's Blue pullet & I couldn't be happier! The egg on the left is her 1st egg. The one on the right is her 2nd & even better than the 1st.

I'm super proud of this group of birds honestly. I'm really happy with the birds themselves & I am not going to complain about eggs like this.

Changing things around a bit next year (more on that later) & Silverudd's Blue are definitely going to play a bigger role.

In the meantime, fingers crossed for fun eggs like this from the rest of this year's pullets (who could hurry up and start laying anytime now haha)🀞.

The girls are slowing down at this time of year but there's still some fun ones.
