Check out what my black cochin left me in the nest box today. It looks like a paint roller went around the middle...
Striped Egg!

That's a really cool egg!!! How old is the hen?
Fun picture!
I make Easter eggs like that.
Umm, not the same way the hen does.

I have some Bovan Browns that have eggs just like that. My neighbor got some of the BBs at the same time and their eggs are striped too.

I haven't heard of Bovan Browns. I'll have to look them up! The hen is just about a year old. She just finished her molt and started laying again a few weeks ago. Maybe the "paint roller" is still getting back up to speed!
I'd love to find an egg like that! Way cool!
