Minnie&Moose Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Our home hatched french wheaten maran, Gloria, laid her first today - a lovely colour but a stunning 63g! Definitely the biggest first egg we've ever had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minnie&Moose Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 She seems to be getting into her stride now - they're darker and shinier every day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beantree Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 You've done well there M&M. Our Marans first eggs were all about 52g. They steadily increased and are now (month on) all in the 60's. We are thinking that they may reach the breed standard 75g in Spring? All of them have got slightly lighter as time has gone on. As if there is only a certain amount of pigment available, so it will become thinner on a larger egg? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
