I will not start seeing game eggs usually until about February. Unless I provide supplemental light. Even if birds where in lay that would not benefit me as conditions not ready to rear chicks free-range in winter. Rare instances where I do have games hatch off in December / January has involved pullets roosting in livery area of barn where we kept light on so we could observe mangers and not disturb stock with frequent comings and goings.


My non-games also will be tying up all incubator and brooder capacity which I do not like for games anyway.

Centra, that is what I normally see too. It just struck me as odd to see that girl lay an egg this time of year, especially with our transition to cold and snow the past week or two.

Stags pointed out as brothers to pullets did appear splash to my eye. Pullets though do not look like splash versions on any games I can find on the internet. I have been looking hard for pics of pullets like mine and cannot find any like them. Also can not find other colors that I know exists so that does not alarm me.

Agreed, she does not look like a "typical" splash, although they do vary a bit. She reminds me of a hen I had that was basically white with a little dark ticking and a redish breast. I thought she might be a splash and sure enough when crossed with a black all her offspring came out blue.

The white in pure form my be able to cover up splash genes operating under it.
