Egg 2.0Dorothy was our first layer last year, surprising us with an egg in the goat shed at about six months. The other chickens began to lay over the following weeks and every tiny first egg was a joy to behold.One our Cuckoo Marans from this year’s flock laid her first egg yesterday. At four months! I found it sitting in the grass when I went to open the coop this morning. There are four Cuckoo Marans and I’m ashamed to say that they’re so similar looking we’re calling them “The Marys”. I’m hoping that their adult comb shape will lend itself to unique identification.Derek researched chickens and their egg colours so we would have variety and Cuckoo Marans lay these gorgeous chocolate brown eggs. It will be interesting to see if it’s an early misfire or if she’ll continue to lay. -- source link
