Hi

Interesting thread I stumbled upon.  Is this a closed group?   I am not sure I would fit in so I am posting just to subscribe so I can see if I would fit in.

BTW When reading this I got ticked off!   I hate the new censorship here that over writes bad words with *********.  I received double secret probation and nasty grams for my bad language, it seems wrong to not allow others the experience.

Well that sucks. Lol!!! Welcome...I am sure you can fit in somewhere!!! Lol!!

That's why we put the*in ourselves. They don't hit the filter
Come on in, the water's fine

You do that???? . I dont!!!

Mysterious! Good luck with that!

Meeee!!!???? The devil chickadee? ???? Noooooooo!!!!

Thinking about the egg laying process while watching my brown egg laying hens...

The darkest eggs, other than those early pullet eggs or post-molt eggs, seem to be those laid very early in the morning. It seems that those eggs are held longer in the "paint booth" and gather more pigment while waiting. Those laid midafternoon seem to be the lightest. All my production brown layers are same age, same variety...RIR x RIW.

I wonder if there would be a benefit, where shell color is a critical factor, to select eggs from hens who consistently lay early in the day in addition to those who lay darker eggs. While these hens may not lay highly desirable color themselves, when bred to good color lines the pullets may lay darker eggs.

How consistently do hens always lay in the morning? I guess I always thought of it more like the hen can lay an egg every so many hours. For example, if the hen can lay an egg every 25 hours, each day it would get an hour later. However, the hen can hold them in until in a nest, so all the eggs that were "ready" to be laid during the night would be lain first thing in the morning. This isn't based on any scientific support. I had always just assumed that is how it worked. Am I way off base?
