They did, two of them! Thank you for asking. They just turned two weeks old, I will have to get an updated picture of them. Looks to be a darker and a lighter colored lavender.
Have 8 more eggs in the bator now and all are vital! Today is day 14 so not too much longer.
Well Jody, all three of my ginormous test eggs are still vital in the bator and today is day 14.
AND my all of my hens have started laying again including my young pullet. She gave me her first egg today (not small either) and it is a nice dark brown. What a great egg collection day, yeah me!!!

Sandy, wanna try using some serama eggs for baking!! When my DH goes to get an egg and pulls on of those out he looks at me and says "what am I...
I do plan on crossing my lavenders with my "bama" black orps just as soon as they are ready. They are already almost 9 months old and nothing yet and the boys just don't have "it" down yet. I think the cross will bring some beautiful inprovements!

So where are the pictures??
O.K., so here is a picture of one of three eggs we have gotten this size in the past few days. Yes I have girl hands but they are not tiny. Didn't get one today but I don't blame them, our high was 28 today with a wind chill of around 20... I wouldn't...
DH discovered two GINORMOUS eggs in our lavender pen today!! I have never seen such size eggs from my girls before but I am very happy that they are getting back to it, yeah!!
Jody, they are looking amazing!! I love love the rooster in the first picture. Makes me even more excited for my next generation, just wish the girls would quite holding those darn eggs hostage.
I would love to see updated pictures Jody! I am gearing for the next step of improvements in my group. I plan to mix my lavenders to my nice black stock that I have been showing. Can't wait to see what they produce.
