Pics of Eggs & What Breed Layed Them

[mylilchix]

Are they feather egged? My brahma and faverolle are, and it seems like they lay the creamy colored eggs. I do believe that some of the non-feather legged breeds will lay cream eggs too. I think we have a 6th hen laying!! We had our 1st 4 egg day today. Woohoo!! Here is a copy of Henderson's Chicken Breed Chart http://www.ithaca.edu/staff/jhenderson/chooks/chooks.html It has chicken breeds and egg colors on it.

Here are a sampling of the eggs I am getting now.
The top two small tinted ones are from my Andalusians. Clockwise down, the next two small white ones may be from my Ancona. Or one may be from a leghorn. The bottom ones are from my Comets.
And the pale blue from one of the EE's.

I love all of the pictures. I'm hoping to get a maran in the spring. I'd really like some chocolate colored eggs. Our EE hasn't laid yet that I know of, I'm really hoping her eggs are some shade of blue or green!!

They only just started laying. Out of our youngsters, we weren't sure at first, who was leaving them in the nest box. I bought such a varietyof chicks this summer. But I have now seen our dark blue Andy in there, and my DH has seen the pale blue hen. Not sure if the different color Andies lay different colored eggs...?

We have now found the little white eggs in (or near) our Comets' coop. The only one I know of who is brave enought to go over there is Connie the Ancona. And one independent Leghorn hen...

It is kind of fun having all the different eggs. For over a year, all we had were the 3 Comet hens. They have laid some gigundus eggs and a number of dbl-yokers at first. I was surprised that the littler eggs have nearly as big a yolk as the large size.
