I have 3 BR, 2 WL, 1 BA, 1RIR, 1 RSL, 1 Ameracauna, and a NHR rooster (obviously he didn't do it!). They are all 27 weeks old, except the Ameracauna, who is probably 25 weeks (got her later) I have gotten as many as 8 eggs in 1 day before. The RSL started laying dark brown eggs at 18 weeks. The others (except the Ameracauna, I think) have been laying for at least a month now. Last week my DH said we got another dark brown egg one day, but I thought maybe he was confused. I was working long days at the time.
This morning, there was a dark brown egg on top of the nest boxes. About an hour later, I went out to the coop, and Vickie (RSL) had laid her dark brown egg in the same nest box she always does.
So, did my Ameracauna lay the other dark brown egg? I thought they laid blue or green. Or has she been laying the nearly pink egg, and someone else (maybe the RIR) has started laying the dark brown eggs?
I can't really sit out there watching, any comments are appreciated.
From the top left: 1. mystery egg 2. RSL 3. ??? 4. WL 5. WL 6. BR? 7. BR 8. BA
Here's a picture of my Ameracauna, hard to get a pic, she's very fast and skittish.
