chooklady Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Our new Columbine, Ruby laid her first egg today, (We bought her last Saturday) definately green, darker than Misty's the Corton Blue. It weighed in at 34g These are today's eggs and Ruby's egg is in the middle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Congratulations . What a pretty egg . Maisie's started out that slightly olivey green but went paler in time (like your other ) . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egzandra Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 That's a lovely egg - they are all lovely. I'm in North Herts. Where did you get your chooks from, if you don't mind me asking? I have not got my chickens yet. Just wondering where to get them from, although Thorne's would be the nearest to us. Egzandra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom123 Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 ChookLady got hers from Thornes I think. I hope my araucana lays a lovely egg like that Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chooklady Posted February 28, 2009 Author Share Posted February 28, 2009 Yes mine came from Thornes. All of them apart from the original 2 from Omlet, the Miss Pepperpot and the Goldline have come from Thornes, they are lovely healthy birds and the staff are very knowledgable and helpful. They have a good selection of different birds, they had some beautiful Speckledies last week that had almost silver looking hoods on, they were gorgeous. Congratulations . What a pretty egg . Maisie's started out that slightly olivey green but went paler in time (like your other ) . Misty's egg was darker to begin with but it is paler now, usually with white spots (you can just see them in the photo) but sometimes pinkish/brown spots. I would have been nice if her eggs had been a little more blue but nevermind they are beautiful as they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
