Those are lovely. I'm sure they are prettier in real life. I've found no matter how fancy the camera it can never capture the real colors we see with our eyes. Bet those blues are very pretty.
I love the 8 chickens I got from y’all in February. They are all so beautiful, hearty and healthy. They are all laying now and their eggs are beautiful. We got a Buff Orpington, a Black Copper Maran, 2 Olive Eggers, 3 Green Queens, and 1 Easter Egger.
My Speckled Sussex hens lay a cream colored egg(medium to large).My Jersey Giants lay a brown egg(large, now, first year hens). My Brahma hens lay a brown egg(large eggs and at least one or two hens laying an extra large double yoke). Again, the Brahma hens are first year hens. I'm averaging 60 eggs a week with 24 hens. This is plenty for my wife and I, children and grandchildren.
Heck yeah I just made my first order and the black Copper Marans and Easter egger chicks are so healthy. Just trying to figure out what other breed I want to add. So awesome
This is absolutely beautiful and informative. I do have the polish, silkie, and cochin bantam eggs. It's a shame we do not have any dark or colored egg chickens here. Great video 👏
@@MeyerHatchery Although I do want to ask what is the egg production of your Polish chickens I have seen some people saying 70 a year and some claiming 250 a year
All chicken eggs should be comprised of the same things, but with varied levels of nutrients. You'll find the taste is the same across the board, but you may have some hens that forage more and have darker yolks than those who are strictly eating feed alone.
@@MeyerHatchery Thank you. Cause we're planning to get 3 or 4 and that will be more than enough eggs for us. Do you know if it's better to put a dummy egg in their nest to keep them from picking their eggs and show them where to lay? and which are the best bantams to get ?
Having fake eggs is a great way for curious pullets to learn where they should be laying eggs. As far as which bantams are best? They're all amazing. Take a look at the color eggs they lay and let that help you decide which little ones to bring home!
@@mattieclark5235 If I may add some information. If you get bantams, you may want more than 4 hens, as they all lay a small egg. They are roughly 1/2 the size of a regular egg from a full size hen. Bantams of standard fowl tend to lay slightly larger eggs and are more prolific than the true bantams. Most bantams are great flyers and because they are smaller than their counterparts do not suffer extreme cold well and have a higher metabolism.

That sounds like a beautiful egg basket!

Great color spread, thanks for sharing.
Very educational! Thank you!

Beautiful eggs! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you, Whitney!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I’m interested in raising chickens 🐓
Wow you have good knowledge about egg shapes. Thank you for sharing with us your practical knowledge, stay blessed and live happily 😊😊😊

Thanks for your question! Our Polish varieties have a production rate between 2 and 5 eggs per week.
I'm curious to know if they vary in taste and nutritional content? Can't wait to order!

Hi I have just subscribed. Nice channel.
Thanks!
How often do bantam's lay eggs
Hi Mattie! Each breed is different, but most bantams lay between 4-5 eggs per week.
