We have 2 hens out of 6 laying right now. One's been laying for a while and one just started. Waiting for the EE to start laying, I can't wait to see what color her eggs are.

Right? With the price of eggs...all 6 would be nice! I was looking for blue egg layers. I didn't research and thought they all laid blue eggs. I'm fairly certain one of mine is laying a pink one. I'll only know if I see 2 blue eggs the same day!We have 2 hens out of 6 laying right now. One's been laying for a while and one just started.

I know the feeling. I have 1 in my flock that is holding out. Not 100% on who but I've narrowed it down to my small rir or my big br. I spend a lot of time with then an have never seen either of them in the boxes. But out of 4 brown layers I got 3 brown ones today (well 1 brown 1 peachy and 1 powder pink-maybe a first time lay?) so that leaves one girl being stubborn.
I owe my EE's a sincere apology! One of them laid a BLUE EGG! Finally! I'm still convinced the beardless one is laying the small pink eggs, but now I have hope that the 3rd EE might lay blue as well.. Here's my haul for the last 5 days. 4 or 5 hens laying now. BO's and EE's. 25 weeks. Next batch of 4 are 19 weeks now, SLW, Delaware, Cuckoo Marans and Australorp then 5 more are 15 weeks. GLW, Splash Marans Lav Orpv and white marans. I can't wait to start sharing beautiful eggs with friends! We have an egg shortage here in CA due to new laws. Stores are limiting purchases and running out. Eggs are $5. for 18!
Not unusal, but you have one that is about ready to start, whether they look it or not!I got my first "egg" today. My young gals all turned 18 weeks old today. And I got a very small, shelless egg that dropped (and broke) while they were roosting last night night. I have no idea which girl laid it. They are all different breeds and none of them look ready to lay... No enlarged red comb and wattles, no squatting. Could it have been an accidental early misfire?
