I got my first two Silkie eggs already!! One yesterday, and one today! Not sure if it's one girl yet or two, the eggs are different sizes, and the second one is a bit larger. I have them all running together, White, Blue, Splash, Partridge, and one Buff, and sure wasn't expecting eggs this early, they just turned 23 weeks old this past Saturday. Don't know who laid them either, but I suspect one of two Partridges, or a white. All three were standing over the first egg, excitedly discussing the matter!
If I get a few more, I may just pop them in the bator for giggles. Time to build a couple more runs, I thought I had a few months more...guess not?
Are you going to make the trip next month and come see me and go the the show??? I'd love to see you!!! I think Stoopid has an empty bed in her hotel room
I'd love to see some Pennie Parti's in person

CONGRATS ON THE EGGS!! If they are consistently 2 different colors/sizes it's probably 2 different pullets. To have them start at exactly the same time is a little odd but not out of the question.... Yep, it sounds like you best get started on the pens quick!!! If you keep them all together you will never know who belongs to whom... YAY on the eggs. Way to go Grandma!!!!
