The Talker has been fascinated with blue egg laying hens since we started our backyard flock. A year ago we talked about trying to find an Easter Egger Chicken, but our flock was already too big.
The neighbor's dog took care of that problem. A couple of times.
Back in July we bought a couple of chicks. One was labeled as an Ameraucana, but as we started to watch the bird mature, we realized that we actually had brought home an Easter Egger chick. No big deal, since The Talker's only wish was to have a hen that laid blue eggs.
Today, after a 5 month and 5 day wait, The Talker's wish came true.
The prize!
Here is Roadrunner's egg compared to M&M's latest offerings.
This is the only halfway decent picture I have ever snapped of Roadrunner. She is a fast, super timid bird.
