Duchess of Yolk laid her first egg!
I went to the coop early that morning and found three eggs in the nest—one from each hen. We think Duchess laid the one in the middle. Her egg and Queenie's (top) are so similar, it's hard to know for sure. Princess lays darker brown eggs (bottom) than both those two, so it's easy to tell it apart.
Once again, I'll have to watch the girls closely to see if I can figure this out. Egg watch is now in effect.
There were two eggs laid on Saturday (P & Q) and two on Sunday (P & ?).
Not until this morning did Duchess lay an egg that I know for sure is hers. I collected it after she left the nest box and before Queenie had a chance to lay her egg.
Queenie and Princess are both in the box right now. It looks like this is going to be another three egg day!
Are the yolks a deep yellow or gold in all the eggs?
ReplyDeleteI haven't cracked open one of Duchess' eggs yet. The other two are about the same in color—more yellow than gold.
