Black Star lays her first egg at 11 months

Congratulations are in order for Dakota my black star or sometimes called black sex link (because one can tell the sex of the chick at birth). She has been in the coop making nests for about a week, and today on this beautiful Easter morning she layed her very first egg. You can see her in the background.

 

Here are the two eggs that were layed today. The one on the left is Dakotas egg and on the right is Tallulahs egg. She is a cross between a rhode island red and a leghorn. Big difference in color and size.

 

Here is a photo of all my girls eggs, the very dark one is from Avery (red star) and the blue is from Oakley (americana).

Happy Easter from all of us.
