Still in the game! After our lemon cuckoo died we gathered all the eggs laid from his hens and put them straight in the incubator. 4 hatched ! If just one is a rooster we are back in the lemon cuckoo project .

And then this happened, I’m calling it a 5 #. I argued with myself all day and then called it.

OMG , it’s fine breeding only from the darkest egg to increase your chances if a dark egg laying line.But working out who laid which egg when you have more than 15 birds, is infuriatingly time consuming.

Something different arrived today , a shiny one ! All my other layers are Matt. (2nd pic)

I think that’s a dark as I m ever going to get them. I guess In Australia we just have to be happy with that . 😒

My best brown BMC brown egg layer , always provides two signature brown dots on end off egg. It’s so convenient to know who laid it! I have nt come across this kind of marking before, anyone else had a hen with signature markings

“And the girls line up “these are my select few that are this seasons breading stock. 6 hens is the most I would have with one rooster, but this year these 4 are laying the darkest eggs so I’m only breeding from them . The hen which has a very dark collar lays the darkest eggs. My rooster is very colourful so he balances her out.

I’ve had to put a saddle on our Roosters favourite lady, he’s stripped her back feathers off.

Love the colour of BCM eggs almost a terracotta colour. More red in them than other brown egg layers.

One of these things is not like the other. Banjo the Bandicoot comes out for scratch. He’s become very friendly lately. Please note he is not a rat but a small Australian marsupial called a Bandicoot. Totally harmless and very vulnerable.
