    Who else is waiting for that first egg?

    I have one out of four that "sing" and not every time. I have noticed when she lays a little bit bigger of an egg and it takes her a little longer is when she really carries on. It's like she is impressed with herself.

    yeah I should have just ordered some black coppers instead of buying the cuckoos locally. Still love my girls and am glad they are finally laying but I now know better for the next time I add more babies to my flock.

    WVduckchick said she believes they will get darker over time and then get lighter when it gets closer to winter and they slow down. So keeping my fingers crossed. I will let you know what their next few eggs look like when they lay them.

    I hope they get some what darker. I have also heard they don't get as dark as black coppers but I was hoping they would be darker than they are now.

    I'm not sure if I should be excited or madder than a wet hen. As of this afternoon I have all four of my older girls laying, both of my cuckoo marans started laying today but their eggs are no darker than my silver laced Wyandottes. The cuckoo marans I gave away two months ago lay dark brown...

    Who else is waiting for that first egg?

    I have heard that also but I originally got three of them and ended up having to re home one because she was so mean and aggressive and attacked my eight year old daughter. I recently talked to the woman that took her and she started laying already (of course the one I had to get rid of right)...
