Wow... I said desirable not valuable!!!

If you have siblings from the girl who laid the olive egg then you should have 3 OE's. I know you just want eggs but olive eggs are very desirable! congrats.

I would say maybe the Brahma, mine laid a small white eggs...

If it's an EE, it has some Ameraucana in the gene pool.... what's lucky was that you got the blue egg gene!

Then I would suggest that you not do that... Unless you are trying to win a bet or something. You could get roids!!!!

Winter always causes a slow down in egg production, but that also depends on a variety of factors and again, there are no "normals" in raising chickens. I have bought new previously laying hens before, some have laid eggs on the way home, some had stopped for months. My EEs are all different...

Regarding cracked eggs; If they're not being used for hatching you can still eat them: fried, scrambled, or boiled as long as they haven't been sitting in the coop for for hours or have been rolled around in the dirt and bedding. We would just eat them first. But try to get them before they get...

This is a normal nesting duty hens do while laying. Mine do it all the time. Although, it's so frustrating to change nesting material in the morning, then watch them kick all the bedding out, climb in, then pick up bedding piece by piece to build their nest. But if you girl is doing this now...

Maybe I'm reading this wrong, but is there a difference between full size eggs and pullet eggs?

I would guess you have 2 different layers... but you could hang out with them for a while and see who is laying which egg!

Nice! There is nothing normal about raising chickens. lol But yes, that sometimes happens. It should stop after her first couple of eggs. If it doesn't then you can be concerned.

Nice.... I would call your girl an olive egger!!!!

That is a nice olive colored egg. Mine is a couple shades lighter.

Nice olive color, a bit light but nice

From the extremely happy desk at the Crazy H-Bar Ranch; While feeding, watering, and cleaning I found this pretty little perfect blue egg. Aria's first egg! This Wheaten Ameraucana we got from Carrie. Which might make her a little (ok, a lot!) jealous...I noticed that she was squatting with no...

That is AMAZING, How did you get "Him" to lay at all? Can you teach my roosters to do that? I might have to start keeping them.... I'm just kiddin! But she does look like a boy...

No worries, this happens a lot for the first egg or two. Just to be safe... check her vent and make sure her insides didn't become her outsides (prolapsed).

Congratulations... Yeah, you have 2 different layers now. Nice colors too.!
