I think someone might have laid a Basque egg today! There were TWO brown eggs this afternoon. Although I suppose it is possible that I have two olive eggers that lay a brown egg. Are the Basque eggs always shiny? This one has just a hint of shine, not much. I suppose I won't find out until this weekend when I am around to investigate.

Congrats on your firs egg. One of mine has been laying for a week, from the Easter Hatch like yours. I might have two of my three laying--I got one with a lot of bloom a couple of days ago.
