your calling me stupid

Some of us know better! It’s ok, one (or more) of the experts will get wind of this convo and set those other 2 straight! I’m not saying that 2 of these posters are completely wrong...just mostly!

Ahem...

I’m not sure if you ignored me or not but I don’t think we need anyone else in it yet. We were able to narrow the breeds down to four single hens.

I came out to the coop this morning to find 2 tiny grey eggs. I have 1 wilkie and shes almost 4 months. I'm thinking it was her but there grey eggs and I thought she layed cream eggs. When I touched them it would leave brown Mark's and then they dissapeared so I dont know what that it. I have 2 plymoyths, 1 buff orpington, 1 Australorp, 1 Starlight green egger, 1 blue silkie, and a swedish flower rooster. Does anyone have an idea of who layed it. I'm still going with my silkie but why grey.View attachment 2213450

The one on the left is cracked but heres some better pictures.View attachment 2213482

Are the eggs in your first post and the other eggs in the next post with photos the same eggs??

The color changing from green/gray to brown baffles me.

Pullets just coming into lay often lay small eggs while their systems fire up. Nothing odd about the size to me.

Your only bird that would lay green is the starlight green layer.

Yes indeed many birds lay before the magical 6 month mark. My own starlight green layers started at 15 weeks. My prairie blue bells waited until 17 weeks.
My leghorns (long ago) laid around that same age.
I have a Brahma that started at 6 months. Said to be a much slower to mature breed but each bird is unique.

To those wishing to debate the issue please start a thread asking how early a bird can lay.....or do a site search as that question has come up often.

This OP had a question that has become lost in the debate. I find that sad.

After all we were all hashing it out and agreeing on one thing, if an expert came in it would just tell us what He thought and we all have to believe that Idk just guessing

Hey, I’m not sure if you ignored me or not but after everyone ignored everyone else we were able to figure out breeds that would’ve laid the eggs.

Not ignoring anyone.

Truth be told.....each bird is unique and will lay when good and ready. For some that will be sooner than expected and for others later.

Not here to join a debate in any way shape or form. I read every post and was rather disgusted at the "digging in of heels" over when a bird can or cannot lay.
They lay when mature enough to do so.

A physical exam of all the OP's birds (well except the cockerel I don't think he will ever lay) will help reveal which birds are beginning to lay.

The eggs were brown in the end, so we narrowed it down to the brown layers. The silkie probably didn’t lay and the Starlight green layer lays, well, green eggs.

I asked OP to clarify color in my post to the OP.

Not into having a debate over color, size, age etc. I have chores to tend to so am headed out the door.

I was basing the information on the lighting. It seemed cloudy in the first picture at it didn’t look like they were totally dry so the light might’ve distorted the color. I used the second picture for the color, as it was inside and they were dry.
