Wow! Came home to find 6 eggs today! Three white, three light green. So it looks like the three BSLs, and the two Cali Grays are laying now. So who is the mystery white egg layer? Maybe I missed one from the other day. We'll see if I get 5 or 6 again tomorrow!

congrats!

Any guesses, is this egg fertile? Just curious!

Yep, I see a bullseye!

Sorry to hear that @stake. We hatched 4 Blue Orpingtons and are keeping 2.
They hatched on Dec 25th so hatch date is close to your silkie.

Awesome! I thought so too. Now I just need a girl from your line of broodies....

<-- I wrote this thinking it was Fisherlady responding. But I'll take a broody from where ever!

Sorry Stake, hope you find some friends for your little one.

So last night I couldn't find my little Silkie girl. I looked high and low, and her and her sister are always the first inside the coop, so I thought she may have gotten hawked. I looked outside for signs of a struggle, but didn't see anything. I checked the coop one more time, and there she was, wedged behind a cinderblock that is holding up my nesting boxes. I have to adjust my nesting boxes, now that I have a few more girls making use of them! The little white booger blended right in with the block. Wonder if she was hiding from Rusty the Rapist. Haha!

I was just so glad she was only hiding!

Hiding from Rusty or brooding? Looks like a spot our broodies would pick....

Quote: I thought that perhaps, but she's hid under the boxes a couple of times. I think to hide from the other girls or Rusty. I leave the lights on for a couple hours after dark so they can all get situated. I thin they probably chase her.

Always hoping for a willing broody though!
