Wow, 77 grams is a big egg for a hen that size! That 126 gram egg was from one of my peaheans.

I have four Amelias. They were the first hens back from molting and are laying very nicely. Yesterday I collected 4 eggs. The third egg from an Arkansas Blue--a blue egg weighin 52G. The Amelia eggs are light green to Olive and were 69G, 72G and 77G. They are my smallest hens too.

They have excellent feed conversion!

Casportpony    what on earth laid that jumbo, it's a meal all by itself.?  I hope the hen survived laying it.

That was out of my peahen at the end of last year. Normal sized eggs for her are about 110 grams.

That's a nice looking egg but that tape measure is going to give you indigestion. You might want reconsider your breakfast food choices.

Oh, Roboduck, one assignment before you are considered a full fledged member. I didn't want to make this a requirement, but Vehve insisted and he can be quite persistent if he doesn't get his way. You must post four pictures. One of chickens or eggs, one of a person you find attractive but don't know personally, one of either your garden or one you would like to have, and one of what you are having for supper tonight. I'm sorry, it really is silly but we like to humor Vehve.

OK..... here are the eggsies
My Wellie eggs..... RIP Wellies


top three are Guinea Pullet eggs Bottom four are Araucana Eggs.... Yep the tailess kind

I tried to hatch em The Guineas hatched..... even after they played football with them for a few days before I found em.
Araucanas are notorious for not hatching.








Two Pearls and One Royal Purple.

one of THESE layed those Guinea eggs


I got forty of em from PeepsCA.... She packed em in their box with slices of watermelon.... When they arrived they smelled like Watermelon.... and their poops were red. Which they ate immediately....

In this picture they was Nappin... the experience of brooding up This many Guinea fowl has convinced me to make an expandable brooder with an all wire bottom..... and feeders that cannot be dumped dug in or spilled from....

My araucana Roo Hot Stuff... RIP

My two silky roos Truffle and Sparkle... RIP


My Wellie Fuzzballs Got them from the feed store but ordered a specific amount of males and females. The hatchery they were using was EXCELLENT....

Here is the garden I want... or variation there of.
