Ain't Nobody Here Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I think Poppy has laid her first egg . Hard to compare colours as we've eaten both of Penny's but it's titchy (35g) compared to Penny's two so I think it must be hers . Perhaps now we can actually start using the egg skelter again . Funny how they laid 2 days apart - just like Maisie and Milly 2 years ago . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katieD Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 how fab! cant wait for my new ones to start laying- forgot how eggciting the wait is! think i might have to wait a while for the cochin and silkies though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted September 21, 2009 Author Share Posted September 21, 2009 Have to admit , I'm a bit disappointed both new girls' eggs seem to be the same colour . Never mind, at least I'm actually getting some eggs now. Colour shouldn't matter! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KateG Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 ANH, you know what the answer to having the same colour eggs is, don't you? more chickens of course! Yay for Poppy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted September 21, 2009 Author Share Posted September 21, 2009 I know . Sadly, I'm at capacity . Picked these new girls as I thought I might get a dark brown egg or a speckeldy one but I was wrong . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 awww well done your new girl Pepsi the Orpie is in the nesting box, and ws doing the same yesterday sitting with her bum high in the air.... am I going to get an egg MUCH earlier than anticipated?? or is she practicing?? no crouching, so I think shes teasing but I am happy to be proven wrong. Shame about the egg colouring ANH but seriously they are all the same inside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Well done Poppy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted September 21, 2009 Author Share Posted September 21, 2009 Well, I take it all back . Poppy laid her first egg this afternoon . And a lovely dark brown colour it was too . The little egg I found this morning was Penny's but I thought it was Poppy's, then a huge one (75g) which I'd thought must have been Penny's but was Molly's - are you keeping up . Easy mistake as Penny's egg was even smaller than her first two . Anyway, I'm getting pale eggs from Penny and dark eggs from Poppy .

ClaireG Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Glad your getting your dark egg and can understand why you were confused! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 I have found it very hard to work out who is laying what in our newbies. I now think that the couple of eggs that we have had that have a white speckled surface with a pale brown under colour are laid by Ghost the Bluebelle. they look like sugar coated easter eggs We get the lovely dark brown eggs from our Isa Brown and they are the largest too.

sparkysmum Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Lovely eggs ANH & what beautiful colours. Am very I don't think my new ladies will go into the egg business till next year although I'd be delighted to be proven wrong. They are about 22 wks now, maybe , just one or two would be nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jan246 Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 3 weeks after their arrival all 3 of our girls are now laying eggs! Hoping we`ll be able to tell the difference once they all get up to size, all a bit "brown" at the minute tho. Altho Ophelia`s eggs have some quite big dark speckles on them and Mercedes` look like they might be the lightest- time (and more eggs) will tell. Its so exciting that I can now officially cancel my egg delivery from the milkman- Yippee!! Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
