They are all about 30 weeks old. Not all born on the same day (they were a few days old when I got them).

Way to go! I love the little Silkie eggs even if you have to use more to get the same volume as the larger eggs.

How wonderful! Pullet eggs! We are still getting pullet eggs too.. they're so cute though~! Someone left a message on one of my threads about using food coloring to tell. I'll go find the post and post it here for you.

congrats!

Here's what they wrote: I never tried it, but maybe it works!? - Aimee


You can drip food coloring onto your hen's vents - a different color for each bird. The next eggs laid will have a slight 'tint' to them - helps you tell who is laying what.

Is that safe? And will the eggs be harmed by it afterwards?
I mean, I plan to try to hatch them... would it affect the chicks? o.o
