Another small haul for Friday, but hey I got another blue speckled so I don't mind at all 😁

Ona side note: that white looking egg is actually a Silverrudd, not sure what happened there but hey it's over 50g . Iykyk 😂

New layer alert! Isn't she just gorgeous 😍. She hatched from an Evergreen Acres LLC egg (olive egger : SR x Welsummer) back in April. The pullet has the silver birchen on black that is becoming my favorite phenotype.

This is her first egg so we'll see if the next few aren't as blue but I love it ❣️

I crossed some welsummers with our Silverrudd roo a few months back and luckily I ended up with 3 pullets growing out. I'm so hoping that they are as gorgeous as Hailys . Video of today's egg hall in the comments 😁

A little egg haul today!

It may be a small haul from the Copper Marans, but I’ll happily take every little eggie at this point! 🤎🥚

Each flock got a special treat today too — a mixture of mash and boiled eggs! 🍳🐔. Here's to hoping the extra proteins help those darn feathers grow back faster 🤞

Excuse the runs, just got shavings down to help with all the mud.

🥚Finally more than 2 eggs, only 7 but I'll take it ! 😂🙌

What a pretty sunrise this morning, even saw a rainbow peaking our behind the clouds!

Got the grow outs covered early this morning and now just waiting for the storms to start. Prayers sent for everyone in the panhandle dealing with tornados last night! Hoping y'all and your babies are safe 🫶

Sunsets is the time to do chicken yard chores, it was so nice outside this evening!

Got the 6 wk olds, hatched from my flock , moved to the grow out pen this evening and look at the lacing on them ! It's just so pretty 😍

Only 7 eggs today 🤦 all pullets except a silver Ameraucana and that's only because she just finished molting. All others apparently are on strike .

Fall is finally around the corner and I'm getting the itch to reset coops and pens and do more moving around of my flocks, possibly making some changes in my BBS Copper Marans flock 🫣 . I'm excited to finally rip the bandaid off and start doing egg drops in spring 2027.

Added 6 more Silverrudds this week , blues and splashes from Kolby kluckin obsession. They are currently quarantined but testing and assessments will be happening before they join the Rudds clan but I'm hopeful 🤞

I've hit road blocks in 2026, hens or roosters that failed my assessments a lot of second guessing if I'm doing something right or wrong and learning. I Held off on offering eggs due to fertility issues, just been focusing on following the light at the end of the tunnel, I didn't give up and now I can't wait for 2027 and being able to share what I been working towards.

Meet Blue(needs a name still) , he joined the Rudds ladies yesterday. He's homozygous and from Timber Hill Farm, LLC line. He's still got some maturing to do at only 4 months but I just love him.

Must be speckled Tuesday 😍 check out this bloomy Silverrudd Blue egg that the color looked like a soft seafoam 💙.

Our 5 mo. Old Silverrudds have successfully moved to the Rudds pen. I just love the temperament of SRBs they are so calm and always handle new members with ease, which makes moving birds around so much easier .
