FIRST CHICKIE EGG! And yes, it's a little green.

OMG! Our first chickie egg has been laid!!!  Was it Diamond Sparkle Rainbow Gold, Yolkahontas or maybe Repecca who laid it?  We have a clue, because its pale GREEN!

How do we know? Because certain chicken breeds lay different color eggs.  Let's revisit our breeds:

 

Americaunas/Easter Eggers: "Diamond", "Repecca", "Rosetta"

GREEN LEGS!

 

Golden Laced Wyandotte: "Yolkahontas"

ISN'T SHE PURTY?

 

More eggs to come! Backyard chickens are the best!
