Now they are ALL LAYING!!! Woot! Look at our first dozen and our colored egg
The long awaited egg from Lovely:
How do I know if all three of my pullets have started to lay? So far we've gotten about an egg a day/every other since the 11th. Today was the first day we got two in one day. I think it is just two of them so far. I'm keeping my fingers crossed because they are EEs and their eggs are a light brown ( a bit of a pink tint, but barely)..and I soooo wanted "colored" eggs to WOW my students with--it was the reason we got the EEs before we knew we had to get them from a breeder to get guaranteed blue eggs.
It seems that if they all lay brown my husband has said it'd be ok to get an Aracauna chick if we could get one locally and let a broody raise it when the time comes (we have silkies).
Some of the eggs are longer than the others, so I was thinking that one bird was laying shorter eggs and the other longer ones... Does that make sense? How much of a color variation can they have in the beginning?
