I have 4 hens. I have 2 sapphire gem hens, 1 Delaware and the other is supposedly a mystic Marian (I think). Anyways one of my sapphire gem hens has been laying good almost a egg a day and about one and half weeks ago randomly stopped. She’s not giving me any eggs if so 1 a week. She only started laying roughly 4 weeks ago for the first time. Why has she stopped?

Also I go to check today and I have a random teal green bluish egg in my nesting box. Which chicken laid this color?

Obviously I know what color eggs my sapphire gems lay cause I seen the hen lay it, so I know it’s not them 2. So is it my Delaware or my mystic marina laying this blue looking egg? I’ll attach a picture of the egg shell.

I really hope I have my chicken breeds correct. I am going to even insert pictures of all 4 of my girls so you can see them for yourself.

As far as this goes, I think it's pretty normal. My OE stopped laying for about 3 weeks after her initial 4 weeks of tiny pullet eggs. When she resumed her eggs were huge and have been ever since.

She actually finally laid one today. It’s been a few days maybe she’s doing the same as your hen. Also any idea which of those 4 hens would lay that bluish looking egg?

Thinking one of your Sapphire Gems is actually a Sapphire Olive Egger or Prairie Bluebell egger! Have you seen them both lay brown or just one of them?

I’ve only actually seen one lay a brown egg. Cool enough I was able to catch her in action today and she gave me a beautiful egg. I’ll attach the pictures of the eggs that the sapphire gem has been giving me! And I’ll attach the photo of the hen that’s giving me these eggs. I’ll have to do research on the two hens you told me that my other one might be. How cool that she might be something different I had no idea I just kind of suspected she was a sapphire gem as well.

I’m starting to think they’ll never lay eggs.
