HappyHen Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 I was sitting having a coffee this morning when I heard a squeek from one of the girls followed immediatly by the sound of something dropping and rolling on plastic - it was our first egg! Problem is we don't know who laid it. It's creamy colour so I guess it must be either the Sussex Star or Amber Star. Does anyone know what colour these hybrids lay? We were so pleased that we built them the hemcore run and have promised them an extension! A proud Mum & Dad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 Congratulations !! Isn't it exciting!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harveypup Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 Congratulations!!! The only way we could tell who laid what was to "catch them in the act" so to speak. I think the colour tends to vary a bit but eventually you will know just by looking Enjoy your first egg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyHen Posted September 23, 2006 Author Share Posted September 23, 2006 Oops forgot to say - I had put some nice comfy straw in the nest box but they'd kicked it all out. Their regular 'let's mess the house up now Mum's tidied it trick'! That's why the egg landed on plastic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popcorn Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 Lovely! your first Egg! You'll definatly get to know who has laid what egg. You'll notice that they'll lay at different times and the eggs have their own distinctness about them from each chicken. How did you eat it?

Lesley Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 Congratulations! We have the same hens and they both lay a pale egg - you'll soon notice who lays which egg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocchick Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 (edited) Congratulations! See picture in link below. Our amber stars lay eggs usually like the ones on the left but some are paler like the ones on the right. http://club.omlet.co.uk/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=1788&g2_serialNumber=2 Edited September 23, 2006 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyHen Posted September 24, 2006 Author Share Posted September 24, 2006 Yep - just eaten them. We had 3 eggs by today but unfortunatly there are 4 of us and "Ooops, word censored!"ody would wait till tomorrow! 3 poached eggs with a quarter cut of each for me! To quote my 10 yr old, 'they were the best eggs ever!' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
