My diamond dutchess 17 weeks old layed her first egg yesterday 6-20-25 she layed a green egg it is small half the size of stor baught eggs it's the first egg what colors are you diamond dutchess laying?
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.
Here is my new flock! I have 5 Lavender Orpingtons (5 weeks old) and 3 Diamond Duchesses (4 weeks old - chicken math… I needed more), and I’m brand new to raising chickens. We’ve been talking about doing this for years, and now that my son is almost 3, we thought this would be a fun way to start...
