Luvachicken Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Here are dear little Queenie's eggs next to a traitor egg from the shops. Cracked and ready to go. Cooking nicely Done Yummy Not much left All gone Actually the eggs do look bigger on the piece of toast than they were. They were very, very tasty and I hope when she feels better she will lay some more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chestnutmare Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Oo lovely. What breed is Queenie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted October 21, 2012 Author Share Posted October 21, 2012 Queenie is a millefleur pekin. She is one of the sweetest chickens I've had, and I think the vet would have liked to have kept her. I'm not sure what she was expecting but said "oh wow, isn't she beautiful " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zakjon-98 Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Love the name traitor egg for shop bought ones I've always thought the little eggs my appenzeller lays are much tastier and brighter in colour than my other hens' eggs. Well done Queenie Hope she feels better soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplemaniacs Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 How lovely They look very similar to the ones from my little barred wyandotte, they weigh about 30g each, two on toast yum yum. Gave a box to a friend the other day 1 little bantam egg in with 5 hybrid girls eggs and her Mum said "I don't know what happened but she has given you this tiny one thats not very good" Luckily my friend knew as she had seen the little Wyandotte as a tiny chick and said that the little egg was very special Chrissie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimi5 Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Oh Luvachicken what lovely eggs!! Pekin eggs are the yummiest!!!! (well I'm a bit baised, but hey!!)

Monty my cockerel is a millefleur and I did have his half sister, but sadly she never really thrived and died in june I only have Molly my gold partridge laying at the mo! She is a real trooper and has hardly even stopped throughout her moult Looking forward to more eggs next year....hope my babies are good layers like Molly!!!

Luvachicken Posted October 25, 2012 Author Share Posted October 25, 2012 Queenie being a millefleur is what the breeder wrote down for me when I got the chicks - so I'd know what I'd got. She really is a beauty and I can't wait for the others to lay any eggs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
