That is why they are marked CCL. She also has a pen of super blues with a lavender Americana over them so this way she knows what rooster the eggs were from.

Did anyone answer you yet? If not here is one link:

Might as well throw in the link for calibrating the hydrometer too. That takes 24 hours to do.

Yeah that is what she said when I messeged her last night asking, I was hoping thats what they were because I really wanted to hatch some. I ordered a mix of eggs and then discovered the SBEL after I ordered.

Well so far I have collected 38 eggs for setting for the hatch-a-long.
36 Naked Neck and NN crossed with some Game/Game Cross.
36 Easter Eggers
1 Light Brahma (they have only laid 4 or 5 five eggs so far).
1 Blue Copper Marans ( this is the first one that I know for sure is a Marans egg. What do you think: The one standing on end about mid-way with the speckles on it. Is that fairly nice color for a 1st egg from a Marans?



Haven't even cleaned them up yet!

Lucky you collecting 38 eggs so far.

I managed to collect a dozen to ship out, and I have only collected 5 eggs for myself in the past 6 days.

DARN CHICKENS.

Blue Marans eggs look like that. They are very pretty.

My Wheaten Penedesenca started laying last week. The eggs is very pretty too.


The brown one of course.

Oh! Oh! My eggs just arrived - all made it in perfect condition!!!

Once they have had a little rest I will give them to my broody Nell - we should be having Christmas Day chickies!!
