I'm ready for the July hatch pullets to start producing. Old Americauna as well - it's been too long with no green eggs, it will be good to have three green layers and enough white layers that there is at least one green and one white egg every day.

The white giant roosters are going to be slaughtered by the end of December. Not sure how many of the hens will be slaughtered after that.

This is the multicolored mystery bird. When I order chicks they add a free chick - https://www.mcmurrayhatchery.com/chicks.html . I haven't identified it yet.

 

And this is the grey mystery bird

I may do a weekly measurement of egg axis length. It will be interesting to see how egg size increases as the pullets mature.
