I know this is a "First Egg" board, but I thought I'd pop on here to share a bit about our second egg. We were starting to worry there might be something wrong with our layer, but 10 days after our first egg, I happened to have the opportunity to watch our New Hampshire lay her second egg...
Thanks Leia, Chicken Mamm,and Scooter&Suzie! I thought it was a beautiful little egg and did a pretty good job of blowing it out this morning so we can save it for posterity. Also, it was delicious!
As far as keeping an eye on them, that seems like the best bet! I'm wishing I could take...
Here it is!! Our first egg, from a 20 week old New Hampshire (our best guess), a 20 week old Light Brahma (perhaps), or our 18 week old partridge Cochin (unlikely).
We are going to have a TINY little breakfast tomorrow to celebrate our $300 egg.
The options are:
20 week old New Hampshire;
20 week old Light Brahma; or
18 week old partridge Cochin
The New Hampshire is our best guess because she has the brightest red wattles and comb, which look a bit paler today (when we found the egg) compared to yesterday.
I'm a newbie, so I'm...
