Then I decided that it would be fun to sell eggs with a variety of colors in each dozen. After some consideration, I settled on Blue Wheaten Ameraucanas as blue egg layers and Gold Cuckoo Marans as dark brown egg layers, purchasing hatching eggs from show flocks across the country. I also purchased a Brown Leghorn pullet to provide the white eggs, completing the palette.
I thought I finally had everything I needed - beautiful, purebred chickens to produce good meat birds and a rainbow variety of eggs - when I happened across a picture of a hen that just knocked my socks off. After some investigation, I determined that she is a Light (Splash) Blue Laced Red Wyandotte. Now, of course, I must have some of those as well!
Most of these images are not of my own birds, as my birds are still rather immature. Also, since the windstorm and power outage a couple of weeks ago, my camera and computer are not speaking to one another. Hopefully, that will be resolved by the time my birds reach maturity, and I will put up pictures of Glimmercroft stock.
