3 White Egg Layers in a Week...I think



So looking for your thoughts re these eggs. They are in order L to R... Dorking over Polish cross (Petunia) laid last thurs...I am guessing it is hers because there was a white feather stuck to it and she is the only white chicken in that pen. In the middle is Blanche's egg laid Sunday she is a CA Grey and I basically watched her lay it....no one was in the nesting box then she was there for about an hour and then I peaked in and she was standing up moving it around with her beak...the one on the right I found when I got home today. it is smaller than Petunia's and more like a golf ball...does it look Icelandic to you guys? Or could it be a smaller Pullet egg from Petunia? Both my Icelandic girls are really red and looking like they could start laying at any moment and Pullet eggs increase in size right??

Yeah, they are way off on their days. I can't remember exactly (it's been 15 years), but I think when my DS was in 4H, the target was 11 weeks for meatpens. It might have been 8 weeks, but he did both chickens and rabbits, so I might be confused.

Which ones? I've had the Isabel, partridge, orps both shipped to me recently. I have 2 genesis hovabator 1688s. I'm collecting breeds lol! I think I have 12 or so breeds and a few still in egg form

Dorkings lay eggs like the one on the right.

Those are great eggs! I love the purple color. What is shining on them?
