Phosphorus Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Our Black Rock, Roast, laid her first egg today. Really proud chook mummy 34g and a cream slightly speckled egg - can only just see a few speckles in the pictures. Put it next to some from the local farm to see the size comparism. http://club.omlet.co.uk/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=29658 http://club.omlet.co.uk/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=29661 Clever girl Roast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phosphorus Posted May 4, 2008 Author Share Posted May 4, 2008 I was so surprised, I was sure it would be browner as the breeder said brown eggs - I suppose this still counts as brown as not white Do you think we will get another tomorrow or will she leave it a few days. So proud of her Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 I think they class everything other than 'white' as brown, or so I was told may be wrong though. She's a clever little cutie pie, I bet she was rightly proud of herself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phosphorus Posted May 4, 2008 Author Share Posted May 4, 2008 She just seemed to come out and get on with life - didn't even make a noise when she laid the egg. I was waiting for a big squawk - perhaps she is leaving that for the 70g one she is going to lay for me tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 What an unusual colour-its pale! Well done Roast though and a good start! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Congratulations . Clever Roast . My Rhode Island Red Molly lays eggs just that colour! You may not get an egg tomorrow but it shouldn't take her more than a few days to get into the way of laying every day . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 What a lovely egg! You might find that the colour deepens as she gets into the swing of things! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackrocksrock Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 I have one which also lays lighter eggs and the other 2 lay brown ones - they are all black rocks too. Not sure who lays what between 2 of them as they are so so alike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
