Got her and her sister out of the sapphire gem bin at Bomgaars. Someone told me she's too dark to be a Sapphire Gem. Her sister is circled in the 2nd photo
Thanks for the info! Didn't know that. From what others have told me it seems likely the silkie cross is laying the little cream eggs, even though they're different shades of cream
Who's eggs are these? These cuties are caged together before integrating with the rest of the flock. 3 of the past 4 days I've found an egg in their cage. One is lavender ameraucana (not Americana or Easter egger, but a purebred Ameraucana from a breeder.) The other is a silkie/EE cross...
