My first egg but who layed it?

[TheOddOneOut]

Yes, okay.

So what breeds listed lay brown eggs and which ones lay other colour eggs? I have a feeling the silkie didn’t lay, so the cream one was probably layed by a brown layer or something.

I thought the first eggs were gray?

I think that was just the lighting outside. The OP posted pictures of them inside and dry so I’m going off that picture.

I unwatched, but I'm still getting notifications.

How about doing a PHYSICAL EXAMINATION.

You have to click on the individuals username, and then you see ignore. Unwatch is just thread activity, other than replies to you.


Btw, OP, What beautiful eggs! I have bantams, so even those sizes would be a dream! Congrats!!

The vent will be larger on the culprit. And her pelvic bones will also be wider.

You will know for sure that way, @Annalyse . 100% for sure.

The pelvis is also bigger on hens starting to lay, so we can’t really go off that.

True, but not in tandem with an enlarged vent.

Yeah, but looking over and figuring out which hens could’ve layed it before doing a physical examination would be a bit easier.

At least not in my experience.

It's def not the Silkie, I doubt. Age (yes, that again) and size are off.

 

[Ihavesomechickens]

Okay. So they brown layers are Plymouths, Buff Orpingtons, and Australorps. So that narrows it down a bit.

 

[Aunt Angus]

Yeah, but looking over and figuring out which hens could’ve layed it before doing a physical examination would be a bit easier.

Or we could just leave it. OP'll figure it out soon enough.

And the idea that something else got in there and laid seems weird, but I guess it could happen if you have an open coop and run. We all have fences out here. I forget lots of places don't and flocks get into other yards.
