Very interesting conversation. I really like to hear others' opinions regarding our interests.

I'm not OPPOSED to other's opinions, as long as they're not completely clueless on what they say

and of course as long as their opinion agrees with mine

I am still waiting for mine...CCL and they are going on 20 weeks and still nothing. It makes me sad...I have not seen them squat yet either. The combs and wattles on one of them is starting to turn reddish now. While the other is still pale pink.

Yup! I feel ya on that one! The BOs are at 22 weeks on Wednesday. Only Blanche looks close, she's real red in the face, etc. the other 2 aren't nearly close. I suspect they're not getting enough light. No squatting yet, no interest in the nest boxes.

Stanley on the other hand, he's a different story. LOL He's ready to roll and they can't be bothered. He's pretty invisible right now. Too bad he can't lay an egg!
 
Got another blue egg today!! I promise I won't post a pic every time but here's yesterday's blue egg, a brown egg from today, and then today's blue egg. When I first got it out of the box I thought it was more blue than yesterday's but I don't think so.

Does anyone know if blue layers are like Marans, where the color washes out as the cycle goes? Just curious.

NICE! My blue egg today was softshelled. I have made sure the oystershell is full, and it is being eaten, maybe they're all getting some now.

From what I read during the "you can wash the blue off your eggs" conversation, they will all get lighter through the laying season but a break, such as molt or going broody, will allow the chemicals to build back up.

Or you could make sure you add the blue koolaid to their water....,
 
Papa I personally don't think diet has everything to do with a few soft shells in the beginning. This group of hens are the only ones I've ever NOT gotten at least one or two from, and I've used the same feed forever.

well this is true, although I had let them run out of oyster shell last week without realizing it. I DO know though, that when they first start laying especially, some funky stuff can come down the pipe, so to speak......

No, you can't wash the blue off the shell! There are only two egg shell colors. White and blue. That is the base color of the shell. All other colored eggs are the pigments added to either white or blue shells. It is, however, probable that the base color of blue can get a tad fainter in color.
