My White Leghorn, Snow, has been laying little white eggs since August 2nd. On Friday, August 29th. one of my Rhode Island Reds, Ginger, laid her first brown egg:



Here it is in comparison to the White Leghorn's egg:



Both were hatched the last week of March. I have a Barred Plymouth Rock and a Blue Maran that have bright red combs and wattles and should start laying soon. This is so exciting!

I have some White Leghorns, my first, they have just started laying. They have a covered pen but if there is way for a couple of them to get out they will find it even though they have a big pen. I call them Houdini1 and Houdini2.

The most birds I've had is around 400. Now I'm down to around 200. I know how collecting eggs for my 400 was. I do have several coops all with access to the nest boxes outside the coops. I can't imagine climbing mountains to collect eggs.

Oh my gosh, 500 chickens! I couldn't even imagine. I only have 5! Beautiful eggs and it's nice of them to share nests so you don't have to search for each one!
