usable eggs from my baby girl so far
usable eggs from my baby girl so far
She's a marans, and a petite lady at that.
She just started back laying about two weeks ago. She had a loooooong molt, starting in September, and stopped laying around the end of that month, maybe the beginning of October.
There's three missing from this pic. One was soft shelled and broke when she laid it. Another was soft shelled and she ate most of it. The third of those was a nice egg, but got pecked before i could snag it, so she recyled it too. I suspect she may have had one or two that we missed out in the coop in the same way.
She's a about two and a half years old, gets fed well with some treats in the evening plus having a decent sized enclosure during the day to find bugs n such.
Best eggs I've ever had in my life. Rich yolks, with a deep almost orange color. The texture is almost as amazing as the taste.
She's not a working girl, but she doesn't seem to have gotten that message lol. For a pampered pet, she puts out more eggs than we typically use. After she stopped laying last year, we had enough to last well into December. She was laying almost every day before that.
