I have a great mystery! 3 chickens, 4 egg days, and no blue eggs
This is my first backyard chicken experience. We have 3 pullets a Rhode Island Red, Silver Laced Wyandotte, and "Americauna"
This wednesday we got our first eggs. Three eggs in one day - but no blue eggs. I wasn't sure if I had overlooked an egg or two or if they had indeed all laid on the same day.
Thursday - just one beautiful brown egg.
And today is the biggest mystery of all - this morning at 6:30, no eggs. By lunch there were 3 eggs - each a slightly different color. Then, this evening I was so surprised to find yet another egg. So that is 4 eggs from 3 chickens in less than 12 hours. How common is this?
Also - NO blue/green easter eggs. Do we have 2 power layers on our hands and one holding out or will we never have colorful eggs.
Here are our girls:
These are their first eggs:
And these are the eggs laid this morning
I don't have a photo of today's 4th egg.
If anyone knows who is laying which eggs or what is going on here - please let me know!!
