Awesome wrack for holding the eggs!

Thanks! I got it at Goodwill for 25 cents and I love it! Except sometimes Zoingos monstrous eggs don't fit....

wow your girls are all getting it done! What a pretty egg. I understand about being sad that it wasn't a pretty color. I think I would have cried if Hummers wasn't, as it is it is extremely light so hard to see it has color and that is hard enough to take. LOL But she is also my only EE so for this year my only chance at a colored egg. The rest will lay different shades of tan. My Nuggets should have a pink tint to them but I don't really see the pink tint to hers either just a very light tan, but it is a pretty tan.

how many more around this age are you waiting on? you have some younger right?

I just want an egg...it could be white and I'd be happy. they were hatched on May 16th. Ugh some days I want to cry when I see the empty nests. Tearing up typing this.

It will be so soon! My big(oldest) girls were April 29th hatches. What kind of chickens do you have? Want to share any pics??

My mistake was building a coop and run that would accommodate 30 chickens quite comfortably so when my first batch ended up being wrongly sexed roos... I had been on this site for a while seeing all the different breeds...and, welp, now I have 25 chickens total... 22 different breeds (only duplicate breeds are 2 Midnight Majesty Marans and 3 EEs) LOL

How old are your Marans?

How old are your Marans?

"Blackie" the Black Copper Marans is 24 weeks old. She just started laying last week at 22 weeks and 6 days old. The two Midnight Majesty Marans are 16 weeks old. They have a little while to go yet!

BEAUTIFUL GIRLS! I'm in love with the golden cuckoo marans. I was so close to getting one but when I got my birds there were none available - everytime! I am also completely obsessed with the feather patterns of the Penciled Plymouth Rocks. I have one of those on my spring hatch list.... how are their personalities?

I think our maran peeps are the same age. Honestly I thought I would have seen the penciled plymouth lay sooner.
