Cooks Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 (edited) She's finally laid her first egg, (well I am guessing it's her's as it's blood smeared and weighs 43g), it's a creamy/white egg with the teesiest blue speckles on it, so I dont know whether she will develop her colour or if this is what she will lay Here's one of hers alongside Sugars of yesterday and day before. Sugar has not laid today the other 2 girls have. Edited March 12, 2009 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooks Posted March 12, 2009 Author Share Posted March 12, 2009 I was hoping for or typical edited to add Sugar is in the nest box laying now so it looks like a full house here! Dory also laid a 71g egg today! I am wondering now whether Flo's egg colour will develop or whether I will get cream. typical really as I have a cream egg layer already.. good job she's cute! she's just had a soothing reassuring snuggle in my dressing gown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooks Posted March 12, 2009 Author Share Posted March 12, 2009 errrrmmm yes I best get dressed.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted March 12, 2009 Author Share Posted March 12, 2009 yes full house here, all 4 girls have laid today If I end up with Flo laying cream (almost white infact) that'll prove the earlobe theory is no good, she clearly has green tinged earlobes... or she did the other day..

Ain't Nobody Here Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Congratulations . Shame it's not blue or green but it's still a very pretty colour . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted March 12, 2009 Author Share Posted March 12, 2009 Congratulations . Shame it's not blue or green but it's still a very pretty colour . it does have blue speckles on one side, but I think I will end up with a very very light cream egg layer never mind they all look lovely in my chicken egg holder and like my younger son put it, 'it's only the shell, they all taste the same' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mostin Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 If her ears are coloured the egg colour may be on it's way. My columbine who is laying instead of has white ears, so there is still hope . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooks Posted March 12, 2009 Author Share Posted March 12, 2009 I thought it was a tad dark, I was beginning to get jealous! edited to say I have just turned my colour back up on my screen (it was turned down low after the boys were fiddling with the colume and got colour instead) and wow it looks really dark now!

Seagazer Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 I'd like a cream egg layer but I know you wanted a or Will you be getting any more girls? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted March 13, 2009 Author Share Posted March 13, 2009 no, this is it now the boys are over the moon so they are not bothered I did speak to the farmer I got them from (about soemthing else) and he seemed surprised they were cream so I am looking at it that I in in the minority so therefore cream skyline egg layers are rare to find..

Falkor Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Flo is special! So you won`t be reserving any chooks when we go over tomorrow? ( I know, I know!!!! NO more!!!) I think the forum members should all club together and buy a MASSIVE farm.......the fields will be full of and chooks!! It would look like someone threw a bag of MnM`s into the air and they all landed We could have a chook of EVERY breed, think of all the then!
