I have my first pipped CDS egg!!!

My broody hatched 7 babies just over 4 weeks ago. The only roo is a BLRW. For moms we have GLW, BO, OE, EE, Blue Ameraucana and a Blue Wheaten Ameraucana. Mom is incredibly protective, so I apologize that the pictures are not that great...I really would like to keep my fingers #1- I'm...

35 weeks old and still NO EGGS!!! Although I think she may FINALLY be getting close as her comb reddened recently...still no squatting and you can tell by the vent she's not laying yet. I really thought the RIR would have been one of the first layers, but she is the very last LOL.

Wasn't me. I didn't have time to go to any fairs this summer I'm actually going to my first poultry swap at the end of the month in Corvallis, Oregon and I am EXCITED!!!
