Space Chick Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 (edited) Hi, I'm probably going to look REALLY stupid! I've had 3 eggs now (Mon, Weds and today). Eggs 1 and 2 looked the same, but today's egg looks really different. I was wondering if they would all be from the same girl or whether another has started laying. http://doodlesite.com/photos/main.php?g2_itemId=891 Attached a URL instead, as picture wasn't working (I'm such a technophobe!) . Egg on the left is yesterday's, egg on the right is today and is quite speckled. So are they from the same chook or are 2 of my girls laying? Thanks Debs Edited May 1, 2009 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalu Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Hi Debs, Can you try attaching the photo again......can't see any eggs.........do you know which of your girls laid the first two? what type of chook is she? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted May 1, 2009 Author Share Posted May 1, 2009 I don't know which girl laid the first 2. I was in work, however, I am working from home today and am keeping a close eye! I have a warren, a black rock, an amber star and a speckledy. Many thanks Debs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 They do look as if they are from different hens, but which two is anybody's guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted May 2, 2009 Author Share Posted May 2, 2009 Thanks! I suspected it was 2 girls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Hi I am no expert but i have a speckledy and a bit like you she seems the most developed and the egg on the right of your photo looks just like the egg I am getting and i dont have the other same breeds as u. I get a speckled one most days now..and I got a big plain egg so am not sure where that one came from(my speckledy eggs are small) I have 2 /1 plymouth and rhode islandx /1 bluebelle and 1 speckledy So i am going to guess its is the speckledy egg indie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted May 2, 2009 Author Share Posted May 2, 2009 Congratulations Indie, you are correct, we watched her go into the nesting box earlier and when she came out we checked and there was a lovely small speckled egg So Martha and Sarah-Jane are laying. Rose and Donna need to sort their acts out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithy36 Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Yep - has to be! Our chickens eggs always look exactly the same - some chicks lay oval shape some rounded, colours are all different, but each hen always lays an identical looking egg - you will soon work out which is which and it makes it easy to track them. I think that the eggs from Florence, our speckledly, are the most attractive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
