My girls are all grown up and finally laying! Aesa, BR was first @ 21 weeks, then Saga @ almost 22 weeks, then Sigge & Brynja one month later @ 22 1/2 weeks!
Oddly, that was their previously established rank in the pecking order, too. Coincidence? Hmmm.

I really like the chick on the very left of your photo - cute little bugger!

So, if I know the color of eggs my hens produce, is there a high likely hood that the offspring will be a shade of that plus whatever his genetics holds? How does egg color pass on exactly?
