First egg of the year!!

So pleased to find a little brown egg in the nest box today! It's either my light Sussex or my blue haze , which I think is an orpington based hybrid. Back to gorgeous tasting eggs! :grin:

It does make such a difference - we're just amazed at the lovely rich colour of the scrambled eggs we've been having for breakfast this week, after the pallid ones Prince Charles and Camilla have been selling to Waitrose recently. (I really don't know how those two fit it all in, making all those biscuits etc and caring for those Columbian Blacktails, plus all their royal 'duties' going around having people curtsying to them.

And our 'babies' have decided to stop laying now. In fact they've all stopped laying!

Tee Hee Marigold!! Also, how do Charles and Camila manage to get their free range hens not to eat all the garden plants? One needs plants to talk to!!!

I expect one has a few tame peasants with bird scarers to chase them orf the veg patch.

Good for you re. thethis year's eggs. Enjoy them. The blue hybrids are not Orpington based or you'd probably never see an egg at all !

Ah, are orps not good layers? I'm afraid I've not really got into the different breed characteristics. I have picked up a few bits of knowledge along the way. I thought my blue looked like a blue orpington I've seen on here, or another forum I'm on, she's got a black beak and legs, gorgeous red comb too.
