my first eggs!! who laid them?

[chasiekitten12]

Barred rocks lay redish brown eggs not white

i have none yet but SOOOOOOOOO much research shows that they will lay other shades

thanks! I thought I was well researched too lol. I'm realizing that although I've read tons of information on the subject, my retention wasn't as sharp until I actually got my flock. Oh well, live and learn I guess

sort of like well exactly like the egg closer to your palm in the pic of the eggs but like i said earlier they COULD lay different shades so maybe both was from the same hen who knows the redish brown one is a barred rock defenitly though

 

[chasiekitten12]

live and learn of course

the egg that is lighter has white speckles

thanks for your help! so you're thinking that these are some of the layer's first eggs? If so, and its the same chick-then I think we found the culprit!

.

Now if I could only decide what to name her--i'm thinking of going with the names of the pink ladies on Grease lol maybe Betty Rizo lol

lol isn't it fun! I was one of those people who swore I was going to raise them just for eggs and not get personally attached, then on day 1 one of my red gals, (I'm naming her Reba) bowed down to me and wanted to be my little buddy-lol I fell in love instantly! I love how each girl has her own personality and I feel like they should have a name that fits
