Never meant to make anybody jealous. Once they start laying you'll have more eggs than you know what to do with! Yesterday I got seven out of eight hens!
It's kind of a cream color, somewhere between very light brown and very light pink. Not as brown as I thought but it's ok by me. I have four other brown egg layers, as well as a blue and a green, so it will just add some more color to the egg box!
First two egg day! My BR Betty layed her first egg Sunday, but I got home today and found two! Bettie's sister Wilma has started to lay as well!
Bettie's first five eggs, all layed since Sunday (she only missed Tuesday), and Wilma's egg on the bottom. Large grocery store egg for comparison.
Finally!!! One of my Barred Rocks layed our first homegrown egg today. Small but perfect, such a light brown it's almost pink. So excited! They are 20.5 weeks old.
