Have you ever wondered how a hen can lay an egg every day?

I just noticed that the Henry's near me sells fertile eggs, a beautiful medium-dark rose brown, most with speckling.  Does anyone know what kind of chickens are in this video?  I think maybe red star?  http://youtu.be/uySN2wrHhhk

Oh gosh, I'm so sorry you we t through so much trouble! sad.png. It does seem like only those states close to California sell the fertile eggs. Up into Washington, Nevada and Arizona. Otherwise people are finding them at other "natural" or "organic" food stores.

Tony, mine grew a lot the last 3 days of lockdown! Fingers crossed for you! fl.gif

alisar, if they are super dark, they may be Marans?

I looked up what maran eggs look like, they are lighter than that, but not by much.  I'll have to take a picture.  Hope I don't scare the grocers ;)

 My Red Stars tend to lay really dark brown eggs.  They are almost as dark as my Marans' eggs.

The difference between breakfast and chicks, is the temperature you use to "cook" the eggs!

 

What breeds do I have?  More than any sane person would own.
