Week 24 - We have an egg! - February, 5th 2011 - 7:30am PT


The tiny blue egg is from Siouxsie. The brown one is just a dummy egg, so they understood where to lay their eggs, but it is also a good comparison of the size. Because she is new at this whole egg laying thing, it will take awhile for her eggs to get bigger. It's a pretty grayish, blue.



This photo isn't very good, but I wanted to weight it. 1 3/8 ounces. We were expecting Blondie to be the first one to lay, because she is so much bigger than the other two. Siouxsie is actually the bottom of the pecking order and the smallest. YAY!

Extending the Family


The brown chick is what they are calling an "Ameraucana", but really it's a hybrid. Easter Egg is a more correct variety name. She will lay blue or green eggs.
Grey/Black chick is a Silver Laced Wyandotte. Will have black and white lacy feathers.
Yellow girl is a Delaware. She will grow up to be white with some black accents.


Close up of the Easter Egg chick. I'll post more photos once they get settled in. It's been a long day for them.
