kathyschix Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 LAYING!!! Lily started crouching the week before we were to leave for a vacation. Argh! I hoped she would wait until we got home but nooooooo...and Ruby started laying while we were gone too. This is what we came home to Saturday: 7 PERFECT LITTLE EGGS! Lily's are the speckled three and Ruby's the lighter brown four. Although they are all the same age (21 weeks now), Olive has been a little slower to develop. Her comb is getting very red though so I think she will come along soon. Thanks for looking! Regards, Kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rufusrooster Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 well done, what is the difference in weights ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-sarahjayne Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 I love the speckled eggs! I got an egg that was speckled with white the other day but it appears it was a one off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kathyschix Posted July 28, 2009 Author Share Posted July 28, 2009 well done, what is the difference in weights ? Lily's are about 28 grams each and Ruby's are about 46 grams each. I know on occasion you can get double yolks and such, but otherwise do they stay about the same size? Lily's are a bit smaller than I expected.
