Kathy C Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Chandon (a gingernut)has been laying light terracotta eggs for a while. Moet (also a gingernut) has now started to lay, but her eggs are creamy/beige? Are they really Peri's (Miss Pepperpot)? The literature from Omlet says that Miss pepperpots lay beige eggs and gingernuts lay brown. Is my signature lieing? Am I thanking the wrong hen? Will Peri hate me forever? Please help!

craftyhunnypie Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 My gingernuts lay pinky brown - normal colour eggs & my pepperpot lays creamy smooth shelled eggs. It is hard to tell who laid what with the Gingers. You have to literally sit & watch them all day long, which is a good excuse for no housework!!!

Helly Welly Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 My pepperpots generally lay much darker eggs than the gingers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Of my 2 gingernuts, Pom lays dark brown eggs sometimes with a sprinkling of white speckles, and Florrie lays pale beige eggs sometimes with brown freckles. I can always tell them apart! Completely different shapes as well! Poms are practically round (can't tell which way is up) while Florries are more elongated.
