Karen's girls

[Ol Grey Mare]

Welcome to BYC! As said above, it is quite possible that your non-layer is getting things in gear at this point. Is the "odd color" of the egg you are getting now in line with the expected egg color for her breed?

 

[karenboden]

Yes it is,a little smaller than the other ones too. I had two of these eggs laid 4 days apart which seems pretty normal for a first timer I think.

Nice to meet you Karen. Welcome to Backyard Chickens. What is odd about her eggs? What breed are your hens?

 

[karenboden]

Thanks, nothing odd just different from the others. I have a buff orpington,an australorpe,a Rhode Island white and a Rhode Island red. The red wasn't laying yet. I'm very involved with my girls and each one's egg is a different color but consistent. So when I got the "odd"egg, I had to wonder if My RIR was laying and if that was even possible.

So my Rhode Island white hasn't laid in 33 days, should I be worried?

There's a lot of great peeps here! Feel free to ask lots of questions. But most of all, make yourself at home. I'm so glad you decided to join the BYC family. I look forward to seeing you around the run.
