Congrats! Pretty hen and egg!Oh, I think today's the day Saffron turns on.
I read somewhere that it takes 8-10 days for an egg to go from follicle to vent.
Yesterday's day length was 10 hours 17 minutes long. We hit 10 hour days 10 days ago... 10 hours 3 minutes 8 days ago... Which incidentally, 8 days before my last pullet to start in the fall... was a 10 hour and 5 minute day.
Saffron was in the nest this morning at 9 until one of my SLWs pushed her out because it's her favorite nesting site. Saffron was really digging around in there and hunkering down for sitting. And I know she was in and out of the other nests (trying them on for size?) all day yesterday.
And I saw her for the first time throwing straw up over her back after being kicked out of the nest. So... I really think it will be today.
UPDATE:
Just 2 days shy of 37 weeks old... Right at 11:30am. 55g
I have another new layer!! So I know the green egg is from my EE, but I have no idea who the "pink" egg is or the brown one. The suspects are: Brahma, Bantam Cochin, another EE (all hatched in June 2012 so they are about 34 weeks) ...I also have two welsummers and and a buff orpington but they are *much* younger than the other girls (hatched August 2012, about 27 weeks).
Anyone have any ideas on who could have laid these? Thanks!
