HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

 

i was gone to a wedding this weekend and it was really difficult to leave the girl alone for the first time!!

 

when we came back today: surprise!!! Not one egg, but TWO!!!

 

my problem now is: which one laid which egg?

it shouldn't really matter but i would like to know...

 

one of the eggs was a bit darker than the other one.

 

How can i find out which one lays which egg?

 

Anyway, we ate our first home produced egg as soldier eggs, with home made bread and home grown salad!

fan-tas-tic dinner!! yes yes

 

Bisou a tous!

Congratulations on the first eggs.

 

Two of my 4 girls are laying and I had a good idea which one was first as she was very fat and much bigger than the rest. But I hadn't actually seen them go inside the nesting box until a few days ago. And now I know definately that Henny and Amber (the 2 gingernuts) are laying. But it has taken me weeks and weeks to work that out.

hi, congratulations on the eggs.

 

apparently its something to do with the colours of the "ears" of the chickens, the ears are supoposed to be the same colour as the eggs.

 

only problems that I can see if knowing which bit is the ears

 

have fun trying...

You'll soon be able to see very subtle differences between the eggs. My Bluebell eggs have slight blush to the shell and the Amber Star are a lighter shade.

Couperwife - interesting bit of info. Never heard that one before. I have always managed to work it out after a few eggs. Then it is easy as you recognise the eggs from each chicken. Also they seem much more confident when they start laying

We only picked up are hens yesterday but what a surprise to find a perfect small white egg laying in wait for us this morning. We knew it was from Dasiy as she's the only white layer. Then to our amazement after lunch a small pale brown egg. We assume this is from Delia as Darcy has a very pink comb and the others are both red. The children are thrilled and after carefully washing them they drew a picture on each one along with the date. We are not allowed to eat them until Daddy comes home I am told. . . can't wait to try them.
