jomaxsmith Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 My Maran Cuivre disappeared into the Eglu for ages this am - probably around an hour - and had produced her normal 44g little brown egg. When I checked them again a couple of hours later there was another identical egg. My Coral had already laid her 60g pale pink egg and my Rhode Star isn't laying yet (and will lay white eggs) so it must have been Daisy. Is this unusual? She's only been laying for a couple of weeks but is already laying an egg a day! Jo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 It does happen from time to time. Nothing to worry about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xChicken04x Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Are you sure it wasn't your Rhode Star? We have a Rhode Star that lays brown eggs I noticed that your Rhode Star is a ginder/brown hen, I though all brown hens lay brown eggs xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jomaxsmith Posted December 28, 2007 Author Share Posted December 28, 2007 Are you sure it wasn't your Rhode Star? Well, Lily _did_ go into the nest box for the first time this am after Daisy had come out from her long sit but she came straight back out again so it's possible BUT the poultry centre where we got them said she laid white eggs (so we would have 3 different egg colours from our hens). It also did look identical to one of Daisy's eggs. Mind you, if your Rhode Star lays brown eggs then it could be her's. Only time will tell - and it would be typical if there was doubt about her first egg, the Coral was already laying when we got her and we missed Daisy's first egg as we were away overnight! I'll let you know if the mystery is solved! Jo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 What colour ear lobes does Daisy have? Just that if they are red she should lay brown eggs, if white then she will lay white eggs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 I think Rhode Stars lay brown eggs - my one does anyway White Stars lay white eggs - maybe there was some confusion????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
