IT HAPPENED!!!

[Pierre duck drake]

So....

Today, at 26 weeks and 5 days old...

Catelyn (Prairie Bluebell Egger) joined the egg laying squad! She is a lovely girl with a hideous voice. I mean, eardrum-ruining, screech-voice. I'm pretty sure that she identifies as a bald eagle. Please disregard her tail, as those are her last feathers coming in from molt.

I caught her hopping into the nest box this morning...

She spent about 45 minutes in there and laid a beautifully blue, 52g egg!

It is really hard to show the color in pics... so here it is with the other eggs from today so far (Nugget finally rejoined the eggspress as well after her 3 month molt LOL...that is her light colored egg with the white speckles!)

Today at 6am Annabelle was in the nest box, normal time after a day off. The rest of the gang got up around 7 to head out so out hops Annabelle. Later on I went to collect her egg. Not in box, not in coop, can't find it in the run.... I don't know if she didn't lay or what. And Hummer is now on day 5 of not laying after around a week of every other day....

Your basket color is beautiful! I love the variety of eggs! Catelyn looks like my Easter Egger without the dark beard! She hasn’t started laying yet at 5 months, but I hope her egg is as pretty as yours!
