Breed of hen: black silkie

Age of hen in weeks: 36

Did they all start laying at the same time?: n/a

Color of egg: cream

Size of egg: tiny


She was always sooo tiny from the beginning. I used to worry about her all the time. I didn't think she would ever lay! I found it on the floor of the coop. She is so small she can't really get up in a nest box.

FINALLY at 34 weeks my mottled Java laid an egg. FINALLY.

I haven't measured it because it's obviously an odd shape and I doubt it's definitive of the breed. I think it's double yolked; going to candle it.

What color is your Java egg?
You'll have to update on size in a week or so, this will be interesting.
