Baby cardinals look very different compared to adult birds because they have pink skin and gray scales. Once it begins to molt however the feathers will start to come out bright red and they will get their distinctive cardinal plume.

Cardinals lay between two to five eggs at a time. They are white to off white in color, and they are speckled with darker specks.

What color eggs do top hat chickens lay?

Top Hat chickens will lay white eggs only. Their eggs are mostly larger sized. Each Top Hat chicken should lay around 200 eggs each per year.


Do white chickens lay a brown egg periodacally?

The feather color of a chicken does not affect the color of the eggs she lays. It is the breed of the hen that determines the egg color. A chicken that lays white eggs does not drop a brown egg every now and then either, a white egg layer will always lay white eggs. I have several white Araucana hens who lay Lavender colored eggs and a Black Cochin hen who lays light brown eggs (not black eggs)


Do peahen lay eggs like chichens?

Not really. They are eggs, but unlike chickens who may lay daily for up to two years. Peahens usually begin laying eggs in April and will lay eggs every second day until a clutch of 7 to 10 eggs are collected. The eggs are light brown in color and are similar in size to turkey eggs. If eggs are collected from the nest for artificial incubation, a peahen can lay as many as 30 eggs.


How can you tell what color a chicken egg will be?

well...ok you have to let her sit n them awhile and watch her..and after 2 to 2 1/2 weeks (if she'll let you) you carefully take the egg and hold it under a bright light and if there is a chick in it you should be able to see it will the mother chicken take care of it after it is hatched? or do u have to take care of it


What can you feed a chicken so it will lay an egg with a purple shell?

What you feed Chickens does not determine the color of the egg. The color of the egg is determined by the variety of the chicken. For instance, while a white leghorn chicken will lay white eggs, a Brahma chicken will lay brown eggs and an Americana chicken will lay eggs that range from blue to green! there has been a recent discovery of a chicken variety that lays purple eggs, but not much information is available about them yet.
