OK, I am just in love with my chicken eggs. Every day I compare their shapes and sizes and find it quite fascinating. I am still not sure who lays what.

Here are today and yesterday's eggs. The two blue-green ones are either from Allie or Diana. Allie is some kind of black australorp cross (maybe dark cornish or EE) and Diana is some kind of barred rock cross, but she's brown and white (not black and white) and I kind of suspect the blue eggs are hers.

The huge brown one (top, 2.25 inches long) is from the other one of Allie or Diana. It's the second one we've had from her and both of them have been double-yolkers. What breed is most known for frequent double yolkers?

The smaller brown one (bottom) came from Henny Penny, my young partridge rock.

The smallest brownish-cream egg (middle) with the pointy end is from a bantam. Either a bantam black Wyandotte or a bantam Old English Game silver duckwing. Any guesses on which one?

Let's seem some of your eggs!!
