Speckles lays an egg

Yesterday Speckles laid an egg in the high nest box. This nest box is currently the favourite with the bigger girls. She hasn’t laid for two months and this is the first time she has ever come into lay after her moult.

I wonder if it is because she laid so few eggs earlier in the year that she has come back into lay again. This has been such a surprise.

Speckles egg in the middle

On the left is Dandelion’s tiny egg and next is cinnamon’s which is really large for her tiny size. In the middle is Speckles, long, white, egg. Next is Ebony’s darker egg and Flame’s egg is on the right.

This is all the laying girls’ eggs as the chicks are too young yet. I love that I can still tell which girls’ egg is which as they are all so different.

      I know, Cinnamon’s eggs are so big for such a little girl and Dandelion’s are so tiny but she has just laid two days in a row for the first time. Ebony struggles with the heat as did Emerald (black feathers) but the seramas love it and Dandelion has come into her own. I am amazed at the range of egg sizes. xx

    Amazing. Flame’s egg looks almost spherical.
