    Anyone else's diamond dutchess lay eggs yet?

    I am obsessed with the colors of these Diamond Duchess eggs from my 3 girls! The light one on the second row is actually a very pale blue. We’re still getting various sizes, and the big ones almost always have double yolks (which is fine by me because I love toast dipped in runny egg yolks...

    Anyone else's diamond dutchess lay eggs yet?

    Just wanted to share the eggs one of my Diamond Duchesses laid over the past 4 days (in order left to right; store bought egg added for size reference). Only one of my 3 DD’s are laying so far, but I’m expecting another one to start any day now because her comb has gotten really red. I also have...

    I’ve been giving them oyster shells for about a week now. Just went out to check and found this one!

    Looks like we got our first egg yesterday! It’s soft shell and the girls obviously ate it but so cool!

    I’m so eggcited because one of my girls’ combs has turned red and the other two are getting redder. Hopefully we will see some of those beautiful eggs soon!

    Mine aren’t laying yet at 16 weeks. Can you post a pic of the egg?

    It’s the opposite actually. The Lavender Orpingtons are a week-ish older than the Duchesses. Here’s another angle on #1. Hopefully Aretha Featherlin isn’t actually an Arthur. Hoping all are pullets, but if one ends up being a rooster, I have a home lined up.

    Thanks! I have trouble telling them apart! Let me try? Sorry, I somehow uploaded a bunch of duplicates and couldn’t figure out how to fix it. An admin had to help me.

    Getting any roo vibes from this flock?

    All are supposed to be pullets, and a few are a day or two older than the others. I’m suspicious of a couple of the lavender orpingtons so I’m wondering what others think. Orpingtons are about 7 weeks, Diamond Duchesses are about 6 weeks. Purchased at Family Farm & Home. All very sweet and sociable.

    Diamond Duchess?

    I feel like they just used a picture of a Barred Rock because they didn’t have any pictures of the adults since this is a new breed

    Diamond Duchess?

    Mine are about 5.5-6 weeks. That’s about the time they started showing signs!
