First Egg Ever :D

[tlkjaw]

I looked in the coup today to see an egg, after further inspection I noticed there was two yet one had been crushed. We have three Broad Breasted Whites, a Royal Palm female, and a Royal Palm male. I am still not sure who laid them, but none of the females were around and the egg was pretty cold. Regardless here are some pictures of the egg.


^ Compared to a jumbo chicken egg.

So excited for many more!

tlkjaw, Do you have Holland Whites or Giant BB Whites?

 

[tlkjaw]

I'm not entirely sure, I know that the royal palms are around 8 months, and two of the BBWs are 6 months and one of the BBWs is 5 months old.

I have the Giant Broad Breasted Whites, I didn't know until after buying them that they will get too heavy and their bones won't be able to support them. I also didn't know that they generally not very good mothers. But I love them to death.
