First eggs!

[jwyles]

Just had to update! My bantam Webt broody very early. I wasn't up to the task of breaking her (I tried but didn't do anything extreme-just removed her from the nest when I saw her) so my neighbor who has golden comets that lay like machines has fertilized eggs but no Broodies so my sweet girl is getting A try a hatching her first clutch. Meanwhile .. my EE also started laying a big beautiful blue green egg, my FBCM is laying a pretty copper colored speckled egg (not the dark brown I wanted but I didn't have my hopes up), my light brahma is giving me a pink egg (EXACTLY what I wanted) and my faverolle has been consistently giving me a little cream egg every single day! Long story short... they are getting the hang of it and doing great. I'm so excited I can't stand myself and so I had to share with folks who understand!!

I understand. When i was getting a variety of egg colors, it was fun. I've since lost my color producers and have just the standard brown eggs from golden comets that as you say, lay like machines.

I love his comets and their eggs really are pretty too. They're huge and a very pretty brown. I just chose mine for the fun and excitement of different colors. My girls and I both love to see what we get each day and from the looks of it we will get plenty of eggs to supply our little family and that's all I really wanted. Plus I really like the look of my mixed flock. Almost everyone has something unique going on. Whether it be a fluffy beard or leg feathering or both. They're all really oddball looking.

I got my first two eggs today and yesterday from my 23 week old buff frizzle Cochin bantam! She was right on time and I'm so proud! Shes even started squatting and everything! Just look at these little dolls! They're almost too cute to eat... Almost!
