thanks for all the info on pifcture taking. who would it would be so hard to get a decent picture of a egg.
my EE/BCM pullet started laying yesterday I think she laod a brown egg. Her mother laid green eggs. I have 5 off springs from that hen so I still have chance of getting a oliver . The mother got killed in the dpg attack I had a cou[le months ago. She was a nice big hen and all her off springs look just like her. In waiting for the pullets to lay

By the way Merry Christmas to all From sunny California love this subject EES and olive eggs

My chickie that was born on Equinox of this year has laid her first egg today on The Solstice - Has anyone ever seen an egg size like this?
Do you anticipate more this size? she's three months today!!

Certainly not an Olive Egger, but that egg there is called a fart egg.

It won't happen very often, if at all again.

Actually I've never heard of any breed of chicken laying at three months old, Are you sure just 3 months?

It makes the other eggs look like dinosaur ones.

YES I am sure, it was born, hatched on Sept 21st - Equinox and a FULL moon, and this was laid today in the box that she and her sister and mother sleep in.......
