Those are beautiful eggs. They are about the size of our Polish and EF eggs. So cute. I just bought a 50lb bag of whole corn and they don't seem to like it. Most is still in the run from 4 days ago.

Wow. Mine love whole corn, I stopped buying them cracked corn as a treat and went to whole corn. They seem to prefer it over their mash or the mixed scratch I give them.

YES!

It is amazing how bright orangish yellow the yolks are in fresh eggs!

I have heard feeding corn makes them more organish, but I am not sure. I love eating my fresh eggs, they fry up so nice and pretty and the scrambled eggs are really appealing!


These are not first eggs my babies have been laying eggs for about three weeks, but they sure are small and cute...

You are living the dream, beautiful green/ blue eggs is everyones joy, just love to look at them

So I have a silly egg question. This is my first time eating or even seeing a fresh egg. Are the yolks supposed to be a very dark orange, almost red? My daughter dropped a few carrying them up the basement stairs. Take a look at the one on the top. Is a normal color yolk??

Yes they can be very orange. Yolk color changes with diet…commercial feeds add marigold for that purpose. Green leafy veggies also help with darker colors. So sorry about the mishap, those would have been very tasty.

WOW! Those are so beautiful….so sad you cannot enter them in a green egg contest.

Somehow I missed this thread, but I have been hanging out over in the First Egg Countdown thread. Anyway...I can't resist another first egg thread! I have one layer (out of 5 pullets), an EE that laid her first egg on 11/8/14!

First eggs are so cool. I know even as a veteran with 2 weeks experience in egg harvesting, I find every trip to the coop to get eggs exciting and am thrilled with every egg!..

So Grats, with luck when you're a veteran egg harvester, like me, you will still enjoy them.
