The EE braggers thread!!!

She is also a large hen, i wonder if bigger hens = bigger eggs?

I can tell you that my little Cubalayas lay little eggs

But one of them laying a Medium would be like the huge eggs from the Australorp.

I have a bantam polish who lays a eggs that looks like it is too big for her to lay but it is hers.

Thank you for the response. I was hoping Luna(the ameraucana) would lay soon. When I found the first egg it was layed very early in the morning, and Cutie(the EE) layed her egg in the nest really late-even for her it was late after 6 pm. Then after I didn't get another egg I just thought maybe, it was a freak thing or something. But then when I got another one today I was wondering if chickens really did lay two eggs. I guess I should have thought about it as they were layed between 11am and 5pm and that is just impossible

silly mama!! Well after I posted here I went out and checked the eggs side by side again and the "new" one is actually a little smaller today than the other day. So thank you very much for the help, at least now I can tell my daughter both her chickies are laying eggs she'll be thrilled.

Since I finally got decent updated picture of my girls, I thought I would share.

Arya



Sansa


These two are 28 weeks old and I have not see any eggs yet. Arya was out back bawk-ing up a storm a few weeks ago, but has since stopped and there was nothing to show for all the noise. I am praying for a Christmas miracle egg.

Do they squat? Now that Persephone is also laying, sometimes all I have to do is move toward them and they hit the deck like they are trying to duck under a train speeding at them. Pre-squat, no eggs. ~ 1 week post first squat - eggs

They are 26ish weeks now. First egg from Andromeda was at 24 weeks. I don't think Persephone was laying any earlier than last week based on the comb and squat.

Both your girls look to be EE and I have had EE lay jumbos from day one. I also have a SLW hen that after an injury laid 2 eggs in less than 12 hours several times.... then I figured out the light timer was running 23 1/2 hours a day.

I know you are going to ask, but the girl above is not colored correctly for an Ameraucana, not even a Wheaten.

I don't really care if she is an Ameraucana or not, she is my daughter's chicken now and I think she is beautiful anyway.

(this sounds snotty but I really don't mean it that way there is no way to make this statement any nicer I tried

) I was told from the person I bought her from she was a blue wheaten.

Her tail has a bit of grey on the edges but that's it. The previous owner said she wasn't show quality and I agree she isn't but she is a beautiful bird. I only bought her because she is beautiful and is a blue egg layer. I am not picky on what she is, she is a pet. Also this picture does not do her justice as she was 30 feet away and I had to crop it.

I almost got a nice shot but she just had to move.

W2aBM, welcome to the EE thread, where we all think she is beautiful! even if she is or isn't a this or that... she's lovely, the enjoyment of the birds is all that counts. I will have some quality birds in another year or two, in the meantime, my hatchery gang is wonderful. I have to get some updated pictures.
