My first welsummer eggs!

Very pretty! I love speckled eggs! The dip-dye look was pretty awesome too though.

She was just getting ramped up with the dipped pattern and now she is laying more even eggs. Love them all!

Pretty eggs! I love speckled eggs! I have an Easter Egger that lays a blue-green egg with white speckles & a BCM that lays a dark brown egg with speckles similar to the last picture you posted

Ugh you don’t want to know. She is 29 1/2 weeks old. My longest-to-lay bird ever, but worth the wait.

Woo Hoo! We got our first Welsummer egg this week too! Mine aren't speckled yet and pretty small too.

Yay!!! Congrats @Skipcurt

Oooohhhhhh... I thought maybe I would cancel my Welsumer on an upcoming order but you've just changed my mind

My Welsummer is almost 28 weeks. My 3 other hens the same age as her have been laying for weeks. My older hens have started molting this week, is it possible she will not lay until the spring?

@jessg84 ive only got the one Welsummer, so I can’t even really generalize...

But anecdotally... I would say she took FOREVER to lay, and, has been off laying already for weeks after others were attacked by a hawk. She isn’t the most productive.... but that’s just so far. I have faith.

28 weeks is still within the realm of a slow-grower... I think you’ll get eggs this year.

@Skipcurt did that hen ever start speckling the eggs?
