Whatever she is she’s a great tempered bird and I love this egg!

She's a hybrid or a mutt or an olive egger or a ???
Nice olive colored egg.

Do you think day 8 is OK to check for viability

I haven't the slightest idea, I've never candled an egg.

no idea when it is from so wont' be eating that

Wait! Don't give up on it so fast. Do the float test. If it sinks, it is fine, if it floats, NOT fine. Remember that hens will lay a clutch of eggs, could be a dozen or more, before they start to sit. Every one of those eggs is still undeveloped and likely good. A couple of years ago Yuki decided she should lay out in the bushes in front of the house. There were 13 eggs in that nest when I accidentally found it. ALL were good. And ALL were eaten by us.

I got 5 today from my 9 girls. My flock started laying again on 4/9. We had a wicked winter with subzero temps & Spring started with several snowfalls. Last week they laid a total of 40 eggs. I just love my girls.
