Mrs_B Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 I have had a lot of stress with my chickens since I had them, and our Columbine (Pebble) who hadn't laid and was bottom of the pecking order was being pecked and other chickens were pulling her lovely feathers out! But I seem to have this under control as I had separated them...I just wanted a bit of goodness with the chooks and especially with little (I say little as she hasn't grown too much as a pullet) Pebble as she is secretely my favourite Well when I went to the poultry farm yesterday, my mother called to say that Pebble was on the nest and she had laid an egg finally!! I was so excited, I could not hide my happiness. The next question was what colour egg did she lay? Well when I got home I saw a beautiful blue egg still on the nest box I am so so happy that I thought you wouldn't mind if I shared the news with a photo!! x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimi5 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Ah lovely!! First eggs are always special and a blue one to boot!!! I'm hopping to add 2 bantam aruacana's to my pekin gang, as I had wanted some originally but couldn't find any near me (Waiting to hear back for the breeder as to when) Something a bit special about a blue egg in the nestbox?! Oh and I've read that the blue eggs are lower in cholesterol apparently!! Enjoy!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplemaniacs Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 That is great news Mrs_B I love coloured eggs I'm hopping to add 2 bantam aruacana's to my pekin gang, as I had wanted some originally but couldn't find any near me I had one araucana bantam chick in my Easter hatchlings that came from a beautiful blue egg, I had hoped for some but the chick became a very handsome boy.
