In the second photo I picked out some special eggs, the five in the top semi circle, from left to right are, Black Copper Marans, Welsummer, Buff Orpington, Ameraucauna, Easter egger. The lower three eggs are all from the new Easter Egger pullets.

| The girls have moved in |
I did finally move some girls into the first part of the new chicken house. Here you can see a piece of plastic rain gutter screwed to the wall for a feed trough and a coffee container has been recycled into an oyster shell dispenser.
Here you can see some of the girls I kept for my flock. The big black girl in the middle is one of my Black Copper Marans; she's not the one that laid the egg in the pictures above. I put her in with the pullets so I can see what color her eggs are but she hasn't laid one yet. (Unless she laid that light speckled brown one next to the olive one at the bottom. If that is the case I am going to be really disappointed as she is one of the bigger hens I have.)
Mary, those different colored eggs are pretty cool, aren't they. Do they keep their color if hard boiled? I like your recycled coffee container usage. There's certainly a twinge of fall in the air here today.
ReplyDeleteHave a great many colored egg collection day.
I love the egg pictures! There are so many different colors. I can't wait until mine begin laying.
