April Babies Egg Watch Thread

[Chickolett]

@BuddingGardener , I know! They are so sweet, and I love sitting out with them. This is one of today's 18 week pictures I took today. A 'comb check' group photo.
L to R: April & Autumn (EEs), FavieBaby & Bubbles (Faverolles), and Mocha (CCL).
As babies, April's green non-fearhered legs were the only way we could tell her apart from the Favs. She even has the 5 toes!

Beautiful flock, and Oh my the one in the middle! .Faviebaby? So cute, I think I will need a faverolle someday.

How old are they?

Well I may have been wrong about who laid the egg yesterday. Today I watched my ISA brown lay an egg, Not the barred rock.

Here’s the egg and the confirmed chicken. So are they both possibly laying or just the isa brown? The eggs look different but that may not mean anything.

Wow. That seems to be the accepted age (20 weeks) for Point of Laying for many breeds (not all). But just like people they're all individuals. Heat in summer months may also slow them. Sounds like they're on target.

I had 5 hatch on June 5th.
Someone just laid a beautiful blue tiny egg. The one in the middle.
