good_egg Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 .....or Dorothy is laying a ridiculous quantity! We are getting almost one a day (with the odd miss)! We had two softies in the poop trays bout a week ago, but otherwise they are all perfect! Buffy is squatting like a pro these last few days, so I reckon she is also laying, or about to, but how to tell? I'm inspecting eggs like a maniac, but they are all similar baby size (40 -45g) and although there are slight colour variations no two are the same - there are currently 4 subtley different eggs in my basket! So chuffed, but wish I had absolute confirmation - asked them if they could sign them as they came out but they haven't obliged! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjp Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 dotte eggs a sussex eggs can be difficult to tell a part colour wise but sussex should be bigger after a while but I could never tell the differance butween the 2 when I had a dotte the only way really is to play the watch for them to lay game which with a sussex can be easier than a dotte if mine are anything to go by as my sussex likes to tell the world and his wife that she's about to lay and then layed an egg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
good_egg Posted December 22, 2012 Author Share Posted December 22, 2012 Another egg this morning, heavyweight so far at 51g! They seem to lay them overnight so I can't tell who it is (was cold when I collected)! Also seem to keep leaving me a poo of nearly the same proportions in the nest box as well!!
