Eggs, eggs, let's see some eggs!

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!!

Here ya go Claire...It's the best I can do until the CF bites me in the spring... LOL

Those eggs came from here.....Just 3 miles up the road, and I am going to see about getting some birds from them...WHEN I have an outdoor pen CF and not a second sooner... ROFLLL

What beautiful color variations in all those brown eggs - I just think they're so pretty!

Those are from free range birds, and they wash them, and candle them before packing...I have been getting them at the Farmers Market on Saturdays, but I know where they live up in West Liberty, 3 miles from my place, so I will be going directly there for them when the market ends next Saturday...They are fantastic eggs...No clue what breed of chickens...didn't even think to ask...

Tonight I got more chickens from my friend who is moving to Colorado. Two of the hens were sitting on eggs. Now they are not sitting, but that's another story. One of them was sitting on 3 different colors of eggs. One of the eggs was khaki-olive green color. Very different!
