Any one want to join me in waiting for eggs, posting and comparing notes?

Morning debbie, It has taken me a while to finally get all the girls names down, we named them right away, but it took them to totally mature for me to see the subtle nuances of each girl to figure out who is who. Between my RIR's, the differnece boils down to simple black marks in the very last tail feathers, where as the other has just some solid black ones. When they molt, I guess I'm going to be in trouble. Size helps me figure out my Black Australorps, one is slightly larger than the other, thank goodness, because between them, there isn't a single discernable mark. My barred rocks have two different beak colors, and that is how I know, plus one is far more friendly than the other. I have a Rosie too! I am suprised your red sex link wasn't one of the firsts to lay. Mine were, and they are the smallest skinnyest birds, and they lay the largest eggs. The yoke inside their eggs are huge too! so funny. My two Golden comets, (red sex links) are named Sadie and Matilda. They are seeming to be the egg machines so far. 6 eggs a week last week. Have a good day! MB
Good morning to you too! Lol I went with names of celebrities. Could you tell? I about fell over this am, my husband said I can get a couple more girls. He thinks we need some ees wow! Maybe a trip to Baxter Barn today? Our sexlink is only 18 weeks along with the buff. The RI and Dom is 25 weeks today.... Soon I hope. :)
 
hmmm,,, i type faster than my lap top goes or something...anyway, bought some layer feed and oyster shell today. My barred rock, Clementine, who is the one that appears to be ready to lay, after hopping on my knee and letting me give her hugs, was the first to scarf down some oyster shells---- I keep checking the nests--no eggs--got some snow today as well, ready for warmer weather! Oh right, it's only January in Northern Ohio, no spring for another couple of months or more!!
 
I love that pic Brooster. That is soooo cute. I got 2 Murans before I found out that there were so many different colors. But I don't see that much choice around here anyway. But I really like my girls. I have 2 Cuckoo Murans, (Dotty and Tabatha). One is a little darker then the other. They are now 2 months old. My gold star is Amber she is about 3 months. We decided on names for the Big girls in my avatar. The red head is Matilda and the black headed one is Betty ( Murry McMurry calls them Americanas... There is big issues about the name EE, Americana or Amercauna that I will leave alone) and for the Turkey we are calling her Tia. Spanish for Aunt. I am just glad that everyone is different enough to tell them apart.
We have rain her today... but I am so glad of that. I know everyone lives in beautiful locals but that much cold and snow.. Stay warm every one. Have a wonderful day.

Greta laid her first egg!!
It is a big egg for a pullet 2.2 ounces. Must have hurt cause there was a little bit of blood on it. It is a mint green egg. AND I got 2 eggs today first time since Nov 11 that I got 2 eggs.
Greta was looking at her egg thinking what the heck did I just do?!


Greta's egg and Phoebe's egg it looks almost blue in this picture but its not it's mint green

This one is a bit darker then it really is but it's more true to the color.
