Reports of my 2 SLW laying

[WindingRoad]

were false. Today I went out and there was a 40 gram egg. Tiny. Cream colored certainly not from my 2 year olds BO and ISABrown. SLW are now about 22 weeks. They are pretty big birds. My BO and ISABrown have been the layers all along. Some of their eggs were small back around T-day when I got the SLW so I thought it was them that had started to lay. And I had started getting those chalk colored eggs. Hadn't seen them from my BO and ISA before. The egg this morning is very pale. I'll be curious to see what the yolk color will be. I know the yolk is gonna be small. Well time for breakfast.

Sally is the best bird. I went to put them to bed one night and Sally (BO) had the 2 SLW snuggled right up to her on the roost. So cute. Black, Orange, Black. Now Bert ( ISA) would never do that she was in a nest box all hunkered down. 2 eggs this morning. From Sally and Bert. Nothing from the SLW yet.

ETA: That SLW egg was small as I mentioned and very light brown. Really cream colored. But looked good in the bowl for scrambling. Yolk nice orange color and quite big compared to the egg size. Also, I've noticed that all my BYC chicken's eggs have a thick white. Is that normal. They tasted fine, scrambled up easily. But I notice that thick white as opposed to SBE (Store Bought Eggs) that have a thin, runny white. HMMM

Quite normal, your eggs are much fresher & also likely fed a much better diet than SBE .
