    Definitely big end up if you ever plan to hatch them. The air cell is in the big end.

    Finally got a bantam cochin egg today. The little one. So today I got duck, golden comet, silkie, and bantam cochin. Also getting lavender orpington but didn't get one today. I should have put yesterday's in the pic.

    What's the give-away? The tail feathers? I'm horrible at identification. I play a game with myself, looking over the "what breed/gender" threads and try to guess before I see other answers. So I'm trying to learn... but have a long way to go

    Got another lavender orpington egg yesterday! A little darker pink color than her first. I assume it was the same hen. Yeah!

    I've read that they lighten up as the year goes along, but mine seem to go up and down, lighter, darker, lighter, darker. I have one that lays a rosy color, the intensity changes, but the basic shade is still different from the rest. Good luck with your freeloaders. Mine freeloaded for 26...

    I can see the white spots. I get those occasionally too. Have you seen this: https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/common-egg-quality-problems I still haven't gotten another egg from Katherine. I think Armand scared that last one out of her, but should be any time now. Beatrice isn't a bad...

    @chickendreams24 I missed this post somehow. Katherine got her name because her mate, a blue frizzle bantam cochin was so "pretty" when he hatched, I was calling him Prissy. Then he started crowing at like 6 weeks old!! I said "NO, he's too pretty to be a boy!!"... so I wanted to come up...

    That little egg looks like my silkies eggs. And your cochin is very pretty. Here's a couple pics of my girl Katherine. She's a little ball of fluff. I tell her all the time that she is walking on her pajama bottoms...

    I don't think I could be mad at her for being slow... she's soooo pretty!

    Yep, I'd say you've got it real bad! :gig Lovely! I might (might) have gotten my first lavender orpington egg today. It looks different than my silkies eggs, but I'm not sure, since I have 2 laying silkies and only got 2 eggs. Ugh!

    I have a group of Lavender Orpingtons that are now 24 weeks (almost 25!)... and nothing from them yet. But my golden comets started laying at 17 weeks! UGH.

    My reply about letting them out was to aweaver, so their hens would get used to laying in the nest box. I'm like you, mine only free range in the evenings, but aweaver said theirs free range all day.
