meezers Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 I know some breeds can lay distinctly different colours, don't think it goes on colour of chicken though. My speckledy lays a lovely dark brown egg - hers are easy to tell. My warren and Blackrock both lay beige coloured eggs - but there is a slight difference in shade so I can tell them apart, my R,I.R laid her first egg today, again beige ! but again, slightly different shade and it's shiny so I can tell hers from the others, not sure if I'll be able to keep it up when the other two are laying. There are people on here who have had their hens for longer and say they can tell who laid what egg, so I guess it just takes time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
