badgerbluebadger Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Well after saying today that Ella would not lay until we are away for Christmas - she had to prove me wrong! I did a full clean today and with a clean nest box Ella went in to investigate and with a little noise and encourgement from Sam, Ella has laid her first egg of 44g. 9 weeks and a day but well worth the wait. It's pale compared to Sam's eggs with white specks - well done my lovely! Here is a comparison Ella's is on the left with Sam's on the right.

badgerbluebadger Posted December 14, 2008 Author Share Posted December 14, 2008 Personally I can't belive the egg colour with the white specks - it tasted good too! Is this normal colour for a ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickvic Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 My Opal lays generic beige eggs but Ruby does lay eggs with speckles, just not all over the egg. The end of the egg looks 'paint splashed' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
