Got a regular size egg from Snow White who has been laying since November 24th. However - I also got a GREEN EGG from our pullet Smokey - her first egg ever. Coincidence? Don't know. But she wasn't laying until I started the pepper and sunflower seeds. I'll have to see if the other two pullets start up too.
That's Smokey's green egg on the right!

Another treat of sunflowers and red/black pepper was given tonight.
I've given them a peppered treat each day, but I'm only getting one egg still. The green egg layer hasn't laid again and no one else has started yet. I'll give them treats again tomorrow it I don't see a direct correlation yet.
Today I got my usual white egg and later 1 green egg. I think it's the same chick that laid her egg on new years eve. No new layers yet. They are 21 weeks old. I gave them a peppered treat again today but I think this will be the last time since I don't want to over do the treats.
