Our second Easter Egger left us a boxing day present

[gordonburrito]

Our Easter Eggers hatched mid May 2010 and finally we believe we have our 6th out of 6 laying hens (Princess Jasmine). The day after Christmas!

Today my wife found a darker green egg in the middle of the coop with silver/blue feathers stuck to it. She's been checking out the nest boxes for days and I believe she got run out by the bigger girls and chose to drop her load on the coop floor instead. She started "sitting" there yesterday and I thought at first it was because she was cold and wanted to be nearer the heater. I was a tiny bit disappointed that we have a second green layer (we were secretly hoping for a nice robin's blue egg), but hey she's such a nice chicken....and gorgeous too. Having my flock all producing eggs in the dead of winter is a blessing in itself

.

The egg on the left is Goldielock's and the egg on the right is Jasmine's.

A photo of Jasmine from this summer. I will get a newer one tomorrow (its late now)
