It may not be the prettiest blue egg, but it's the most precious egg in the world to me today!
My blue Hatchery Ameracauna laid her first egg today. She is everyone's favorite, cause she is so friendly.. Now she is a celebrity.
She got warm rice and scrambled eggs with a little bit of garlic and alfalfa sprouts for her celebratory dinner and a hug.
Here is her egg next to Molly's (the Barnevelder)
It is indeed a very prettiful egg. Congrats ZZ!
Thats a very pretty blue egg congrats ZZ!!
Oooooh!!!!Bloooooooue!!!
Thank you ALL... so much for sharing my joy. That makes me even happier.
I almost got a tear when I saw it.. I think I love my chickens... LOL
I remember how excited I was last Oct. when I got my first egg,I think I love my chickens to!!!!! Congrats on the egg
I get excited when i have a new hen or pigeon lay somehow to me it never gets old to see that brand new egg.
ZZs is a special egg it's a first egg and it's blue so thats double the excitement LOL
You are so right! LOL It's not my first egg.. but it's her first.. and she is just one of those chickens that gets away with whatever she wants to do. LOL
What is it about blue eggs that is so exciting? One of my RIRs laid her first egg about a week ago and has been pumping them out ever since.. I was absolutely thrilled.. but this one made me squeal with excitement! Geez.. it's like a kid getting an award at school.. LOL
Here they are
Congrats ZZ's And I think your right, we all know chickens don't lay under stress. Therefore I think its their way of saying I'm a happy girl and here!! This is for you. To a very deserving and loving caretaker. Your the bomb ZZ's. Haystack
I remember well when my EEs i had started to lay i got a green and a blue egg on the same day. I just sat and gazed at how amazing it was that it came out of a chicken. I collected a whole batch of them and just had a pretty bowl of eggs prettiest things i ever saw.
congrats zz it is perfect and so pretty!! i know just what ya mean i get excited to find any eggs from my girls but finding my welsummer girls eggs is like finding a golden egg everytime we find one!! mine r darker than most peoples r. this is my wells eggs next to an ee and a normal brown egg. look at the choc color, i'm so proud of my girls too!! congrats again and spoil her for autie silkie too cuz she sure deserves it!!!
WOW ZZ that is fabulous!!! I am sooo happy for you! I just love the blue and green eggs. Maybe next year I will get some of those layers!!! I do love your egg!! You should be proud!!!
So do you eat it or hatch it, Joyce?
How ironic you gave the Mom scambled eggs as a reward! LOL Gosh, can you imagine giving it, its own egg to eat?
It's so nice to be around people who KNOW how exciting this is.. LOL Thank you all for the kind words. I appreciate it.
Hi Kell!! No, I ate it.. I made a sandwich.. it was great. Such a treat! Yeah, I give em eggs, mostly just the chicks.. but this was a special day for her. The eggs have to disguised so they don't start eating their own eggs..
oh yeah.. speaking of blue.. LOL
This is my lil Modern Game baby..
that baby is gorgous, i want one!!!
Congratulations on the perfectly beautiful blue egg! How eggciting!...See only good things ahead after a hard winter.
Cute baby Silkie!!
I got a dove egg last night she seems to be setting on it pretty good. Took a pic but it was to dark, will have to catch her off the egg again to get a pic. It is sooooooooooooo tiny of an egg. Not much bigger than a marble.
Didnt want to start a new thread hope that is ok ZZ.
Congrats Luvs!! That is awesome!!!
ZZ that chick is precious!!! Truely beautiful. Sticking that long leg out just to say, LOOK AT ME I'M TO SEXY FOR MY FEATHERS! wooohoooo!! ;)
Thank you Silkie.. It's my fav.. I really love Modern Game thanks to Cody bugging me for so long to get one..
This thread is open to whatever good stuff anyone has to share Luvs!
Sewin.. that is just toooooooo funny! I laughed so hard.. You're great!
ZZ:
Congrats! I've never seen a blue egg before. We are getting about 5 or 6 a day, it's so amazing to me. I was getting worried that something wasn't right, so we put in a light and two days later.....eggs!
I love to sit and watch their behavior. The first sign of change was when I would reach out to pet them, they squat down, stick their butt up and lift up their wings. Then they would jump in and out of their boxes. Then their combs got really red. And then they got really loud and the soft "buck-buck-buck" turned into "CLUCK - CLUCK - CLUCK"...I can hear them from inside the house!
I just love those birds. Mine are getting so friendly, they fly up on my shoulder and snuggle on my neck. They are so cute! My flock is getting along really well, I would like to get a white one with those crazy feathers on top.....I thought I would look into it this year at the county fair...

Lisa Lu same sounds here. Then they look and its like OMG you see that under there. Some of my girls just cluck a little bit then I have some that tell every body with in 3 county's, hey every one I laid an egg I repeat I LAID AN EGG!!!!!!!!!!! Good thing I dont have any neighbors to speak of. Especially with the roosters, they ALL have a crowing contest. Some are just starting to crow and they really sound like a bad case of congestion.
Congrats on the dove egg Luvs the male should help with the setting some of my males hog the nest.
You would think they laid the egg as much as they like to sit on them.
If you have any questions just give me a holler.
ZZ i love that Blue Baby!!!
yes i have lots of questions, she keeps moving it around and really not setting on it to much.
got a 2nd egg from the doves, now not sure if it is the 1st laid 2nd egg or a different girl. We will wait and see.
Congrats Luvs.. I hope you get babiez soon.
Way to go on the prettiful egg ZZ!
