Hello! I wanted to start out by saying that i have a total of 8 laying hens, 2 roosters (i also have 2 polish crested chickens that are around 8 months old i think but they haven’t started laying so i dont know if they are both hens or both roosters so im not including them) and 1 duck. To make this less confusing, I will be naming every hen and the color of their egg. So bare with me please.
Penny: lays a blue egg.
Cenizita: lays a greenish olive egg.
Stormi: lays smaller green olive eggs and a bit darker.
Daisy: lays a pink egg
Coloradita: lays bright brown even redish looking eggs (she hasn’t been laying because shes molting)
3 silkie hens: they all lay small pinkish whiteish eggs.
Dumpling (the duck): lays pretty big whiteish pinkish eggs
here is the thing. I have 2 more hens (Wendy and Chispitas) I started getting a new egg recently which has a dark greenish olive color. I thought it was Wendy who started laying for the first time ever but then today i got an egg thats 2 colors! The top half is lighter than the bottom half. I dont know if that means that chispitas started laying. But what i am now assuming is that this whole time it was Chispitas laying the dark green egg and that Wendy JUST started laying today since she’s bigger in size than Chispitas and the egg from today is bigger then the dark green one. I will include some pictures of all the eggs in the order that i named them. The 2 bottom eggs are the new eggs I started getting. Also, what does the 2 colors mean? Why is one top half of the egg lighter than the bottom. Here is the Pictures
This is the order of the eggs in the picture:
1. Penny
2. Cenizita
3. Stormi
4. Daisy
5. Silkie
6.Silkie
7. Silkie
8. Dumpling (duck)
9. Unknown?? Is it Chispitas (Chispitas is a golden laced cochin)
10. unknown?? Is it Wendy? (Wendy is supposed to be a buff orpington but its been said by various people that shes most likely mixed because she doesn’t fully look like a buff orpington)
