Is it as green as it looks in the photo?
No, it is actually a very pretty baby blue. I don't know why it looks so green in the photo. Maybe a cast from my dark wood table.

So for me 24 weeks will be Aug 18th. That is if chickens lay eggs that time off year. I am in South Florida, not sure it the weather makes a difference. I have a lot to learn.

many times color is automatically altered in our new digital world. It can happen with the digital camera, phone or your computer monitor. That is another reason to be careful about giving opinions about chicken color when you are judging it on a digital device. Anyone who works with digital color can explain this. When I was still working we would re calibrate the monitors every morning with very expensive software so that we could make reasonable decisions about color.

Funny how something as simple as an egg can make us excited. I hear RIR lay a lot of eggs. Has this been the case for you? I have 3 RIR and 3 Mottled Java. Funny you mentioned reading. I just picked up "Keeping Chickens in Your Garden" by Fred Hams. I highly recommend it. Full of information with over 400 beautiful photographs.

I like the idea of an egg laying journal. I am going to implement that when the time comes.

more than likely it was the phone. Even though they take pleasing pictures the colors are not always correct. This is true of dedicated digital cameras as well. Digital color with most equipment is not usually color correct. It is the nature of digital color.I did take the picture with my phone, which does take nice pics, but the egg did look pretty green in the picture on the computer. So you are correct, it is one of the devices (either phone or computer) that changed the color. Someone else recommended using a white background next time. I am going to try that and see if it makes a difference.
