Madchook Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 The last 2 days I have had 3 brown eggs in the cube and I am puzzled. Living in there are 2 (who were the only ones laying) an Araucana, cream legbar, 2 cuckoo marans. The latter are not laying yet and the colour isn't right for any of them anyway! Yesterday I doubted myself, but today there was def 2 laid today. They are full size, proper shells, same colour so it must be a ??? Is this actually possible?

Snowy Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Are you sure your marans are not laying? It is possible for a hen to lay two eggs in one day, but one usually has poor shell quality. It's supposed to take 24 hours to form a decent shell. And it's more likely to happen in spring when their laying hormones go into overdrive.

Madchook Posted October 8, 2010 Author Share Posted October 8, 2010 They are cuckoo marans out of dark, dark eggs- plus these aren't pullet sized eggs??? Neither look ready either...I guess I shall have to see if it happens tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
