After we finished the last egg for brunch today, I just brought in 8 more! Thank goodness.

14 today, found 6 in behind some lumber I have stockpiled for repairs. Brats! It’s an Easter egg hunt here every day these days.

Ooooo nice!

I want a couple of French Cuckoo Marans next summer - I am told they also lay very dark eggs.

Just an observation, since there is so much pigment on these beautiful dark eggs, the bedding in the nest sticks to them, much more than to any of the other eggs - they're sticky/wet when they come out of the hen! We use shredded paper, and these eggs def have to be washed before being sold.

Good to know


I was worried to give 600mg everyday. I might give her every night in this case.

Check the label on the bottle of calcium. It may take two tablets to provide a serving of 600mg. One tablet a day will probably do the job, but 600 won't hurt her. Also, just pull down gently on her wattles and pop the tablet in her beak, she'll swallow it. Remember, a chicken can swallow a whole mouse or frog.

Had to resort to the shops for eggs for Christmas baking, all the waterglassed eggs are gone. Stripas is getting a bit more colour in her comb though.

I got 4 today. My broody girl, Maggie paced and paced. She cannot get to her nest. She's not happy about that.

I have some Marans too. Yes, they do usually get shavings stuck to them. I have noticed sometimes the color will come off or smudge if I have to wash them a bit. The dark colors sure are pretty mixed in with others.

Baker’s Dozen today 13 Eggs the most I’ve ever got in years and it’s winter. I guess mixing my own feed is paying off.
