I'm pleased with my Coloured Egg layers this year
Having kept my Marans for many years now, I have suddenly got interested in different coloured eggs. I am really pleased with them so far this year. All being well there should be some for hatching later in the season
This is what they have laid this year

Ooooohhh pretty!
Let us be lovely
And let us be kind
Let us be silly and free
It won't make us famous
It won't make us rich
But damn it how happy we'll be!

Thanks - is there a way of posting a photo rather than just a link?

Re: I'm pleased with my Coloured Egg layers this year
They're brilliant. I am very jealous as the fox took my blue egg laying hens in the early summer and I don't have any Marans at the moment either. There's something really lovely about a display like yours.

Re: I'm pleased with my Coloured Egg layers this year
It's all your fault, darkbrowneggs, you made me remember how much I loved coloured eggs! I collected a trio of Cream Legbars at the weekend, so when they come into lay I shall have blue eggs again.

I think if you reduce the size to 720 pixels wide or less it will come up on the screen as that's the message I've been getting of late when I've tried to post pictures.darkbrowneggs wrote:Thanks - is there a way of posting a photo rather than just a link?

Re: I'm pleased with my Coloured Egg layers this year
Funny the way we find coloured eggs more appetising!. I am told that in the USA it's the other way around and they prefer the white eggs.
Just because you see two eyes shining in the jungle at night, do not think that the worse thing that could happen is that you are about to be attacked by a tiger. It could be two one-eyed tigers.

Re: I'm pleased with my Coloured Egg layers this year
What breed of hens lays the diffrent coloured eggs. And are any of them hybrids?
The mind is like a parachute. It doesn’t work unless it’s open.

Re: I'm pleased with my Coloured Egg layers this year
Right - worked out how to post photos - Hope its not too big
The darkest brown ones are from my Cuckoo Marans, the greeny ones (don't show well in the photo are from my Olive Eggers, and the blue (again look a bit bluer in real life) are from Cream Legbars . The speckled ones are from my Higgledy Harriets
I am hoping to hatch out some ivory white ones and some more pinky coloured ones this year, and am switching on the inccy tomorrow
