That is a beautiful assortment of egg colors! They look like decent size eggs, too. Can you tell me how old your hens are?

I'll assume you're asking me. lol

Some of the hens we got in the spring of last year, and the rest of our flock we got in April of this year. From the first generation, we have a barred rock, two RIR, two gold sexlink, and two black sexlink. In the new generation, we have 2 production red, 5 Easter eggers, 3 girls from a "Rainbow Layer" assortment that I don't know what they are, and the 4 Polish.

The one who lays the biggest eggs is a black sexlink named Sylvia. We have trouble fitting them in the carton. We used to have a red sexlink that laid double yolkers on a regular basis, but unfortunately a predator got her.

My 6 month pullet started laying when we were in Hawaii last week. I went back to work today and a customer had come in to pick up her eggs she forgot on Friday (my sisters went and collected and brought them in for me) so I took a look and there were three white ones in the collection! She's got some nice size too! It's already bigger then the EEs who's been laying for about a month!

All these pictures are killing me, I haven't had the chance to visit the chickens in about 3 weeks. I own a retail gift shop and wine bar so between getting ready for Christmas and going to Hawaii I haven't been out to see them. I'll bet I won't even recognize my 12 week old group!

HI 5! when did you get yours and where?

 

[windzbreezy]

i think my golden polish is doing most of the laying. does sex stimulates egg release/production?
