ktdot Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 I'm counting my chicken eggs before they're laid as Muriel has been doing some half-squats so I'm hoping she'll be laying soon. (Priscilla did this and laid her firstegg a few days later) Anyway, to get to the point.... Does anyone have a Coral who's laying? What colour eggs do they lay? I'm hoping for white as she's a white chicken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 I've got a snowbell that I think appears to be the equivalent of a coral - she lays ever so slightly off white eggs. They do look white unless put next to my gold campines eggs - they are a pure white. Still very distinctive though! This picture shows the coral/snowbell eggs on the right on either side of the white campine egg. These were her first ones, they seem to have got a paler since then.

ktdot Posted November 28, 2007 Author Share Posted November 28, 2007 Oooo.... they look pretty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jomaxsmith Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 I have, I have! Have just taken a picture of the sole lonely egg from the fridge (we ate the others for tea!) Dh is wondering what the hell I'm doing with the digital camera and an egg at 11pm! They are pinky beige, very pretty but not spectacular! This one is 60g.

ktdot Posted November 29, 2007 Author Share Posted November 29, 2007 Thank you Snowy and Jo, it's nice to know she'll lay a different colour. The only way I can tell the other two apart at the moment is by size. If they start laying the same size eggs I'll never know who laid what!

jomaxsmith Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 The Poultry Centre where I got mine specifically suggested hens laying 3 different colours (mine should be pink, white and dark brown). It seemed a bit superficial at the time but I guess it will be nice to know who's laid what! Jo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(plus just wanted a pretty egg collection) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen&Lee Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Snowy - Are you there?? Those eggs on the left of your piccie look huge, what type of chook is laying those? Helen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helen They are from the two 18 month old gingernuts (between 68 & 73g) All the others are from the hens that have just started laying within the last month.
