The True Blue Whitings are fantastic layers of great blue eggs. They easily outperform the Ameracaunas. The Marans have such big dark eggs they are cool to and a super calm bird overall.

And so it begins. Our new flock came home today. 3 weeks old

1 Black Leghorn
3 white leghorn
4 Blue Andalusian
4 Silver Hamburgs

All layers of white eggs just like my my wanted. We were leaving for baseball practice just as she brought them home so they were pretty nervous when I was trying to snap a pic. She called a bit ago and said they are all exploring and eating/drinking.

Looks like you're getting them accustomed to smoker pellets as well.  :chuckle: Sorry I could not resist.

North Idaho bedding pellets.
I've always wondered if they're any different from smoker or pellet stove pellets.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield
