How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

It's what I'd call personally a medium brown. The picture makes it lighter than it really is- lousy laptop camera.
We had barred rocks (among others) and I remember their eggs being about this color. It's speckled though, but that could just be because they are new layers I suppose.
Cornish, Brahmas and Delawares are other options but the color is too dark for Brahma in my experience.

I've never had any of those so can't compare!

4/17. My RIR took the day off. I got a new layer though and a torpedo from blue/mint EE. Any guesses on who laid the glossy cream colored egg? I’m thinking my buff Brahma bantam. But I also have a BR and a SLW that look close.

barred rock = plymouth barred Rock

I believe you. I have one that’s looked ready to lay for about a week. I love how shiny it is!

I have eggs, eggs and more eggs. Sent a dozen with hubs for someone at work, a dozen to the neighbor and 18 with my daughter today. Making 2 batches of brownies today to use up some more, and probably take a dozen to a friend at work tomorrow.

got a repeater one egg today... Slightly lighter than yesterday and no speckles, I'd guess likely other white rock but on verge of how I remember brahma.

Dasher .....1.........1........1

Is this purely a seasonal warmup or will the hens lay like crazy and then go broody with no rooo nearby... They seem to take more interest in being petted lately...
