They’re eggs. They’ll hatch, feather out, and then we’ll know for sure.

The dark brown ones are Marans, but whether Blue or Black, I’ve no idea. Same goes for the Showgirls and Lavender (Self-blue) Silkies. AHappyChick from Backyard Chickens even threw in some pretty seafoam-colored eggs that will hatch out some “Easter Egg” chickens that will lay olive-colored eggs.  We’re excited! They’re due November 19th.

Quietly waiting for the mat & screen. (Oops)
