I feel your pain. I thought I was going to have a nice colorful egg basket. Instead, I have a CM whose eggs are even lighter than the ones yours are laying, and a Cream Legbar who is nearly a year old and has not even laid one egg. Oh, well, you get what you get I guess. I love them anyway...

I don't know. This is my first time with chickens. I got mine as a started pullet and don't know exactly when she hatched, but I'm guessing she was between 4 and 6 weeks when I got her in mid February so best guess is that she is 27 or 28 weeks right now. Cuckoo (her name is Cuckoo -...

Quote: My Cuckoo Maran just started laying a few days ago. She got a little egg bound with her first egg and we had to lube her up and put her in a steamy room and all that. I don't know if that affected the egg color at all, but that first egg was practically white it was so light. She laid...

Has anyone else noticed an increase in food consumption in a pullet that just started laying? Is this normal? My EE started laying about 3 weeks ago, and for at least the first week she was eating like a fiend! Every time I went out she was gobbling food nonstop. She seems to have gone back...

Quote: That's awesome! My EE eggs are pretty much the exact color of your CL egg. Can't wait for the day when I go to the nest box and see two eggs that color!

Quote: Yes, they are beautiful birds. And curious and friendly. Fingers crossed that she starts laying soon!

She's eating and acting fine. Pooping fine. I'm feeling a little paranoid, though, because my red sex link, age unknown, just died last night. She had been a little off for a while and laying soft shelled and shells eggs. The vet opened her up and she found some poorly developed eggs with no...

Quote: So I figured out that the EE is the one that started laying. I think she is about 25 weeks old. My Cream Legbar is still not laying. IF the woman I got her from gave me the correct hatch date, she is about 37 weeks old (she's the one in the front in my Avatar). Her comb and wattles...

Got my first egg today! So excited! A lovely small, very hard shelled lightly blueish tinted egg. So excited! Now I just need to figure out if it came from my Cream Legbar or my Easter Egger. I hope it came from the CL since she is nearly 8 months and she hasn't laid yet, but I have a...

Quote: I hope this is a support group for egg anxiety, because I have it! I a 28 week old Cream Legbar who isn't laying yet, and two 20 week olds - a Cuckoo Marans and an Easter Egger who are still a little young. But I'm anxiously awaiting some pretty eggs! The Legbar has started squatting...
