Congratulations!!! My flock of six are all Easter Egger's and the first egg of the only two laying started off in the "Pee Wee" weight range. Their egg sizes increased rapidly. Now if the other 34 weeker's will start to lay.

x2 They don't have a green with envy smiley face. (I can't remember what they are called)

From everyone I've read about their first egg, I think there are more insanity on this forum...

Congrats!!! I still have the first egg. I'm trying to figure out the best way to preserve it, too. I have a needle and syringe. I'm wondering if I can stick a sewing needle in the end and suck the contents out. I'll wash it out, of course, but I'm not sure what to dip it in. I don't have...

One of my EE girls laid her first green egg nine days ago. I know exactly what you are feeling. I felt like giving out cigars and I had to show everyone the new egg. For months, I went into the coop and saw a sea of brown pine shavings. And then one day I saw a tiny spot of color on the...

I don't have any Roo's, but when I bought my first red girl, I named her ginger. When I bought the next bunch, I couldn't help but name two of them to make it Ginger, Marianne, and Lovey. (I know the spelling is different from the original.) I now have six EE gals. Only one has laid an egg...

Xaio Casa and sunflower4you, I guess the wattles win. Sunflower4you, I like the dark on her head. The contrast between the red and black is very striking. Yes! In that kind of lighting, that's almost the exact color Lovey is laying.

Yay! It's weird, that my brand new layer decided to lay her first egg in December. It goes against everything I've read. I don't have additional lights, the days are growing so short... The only thing I can figure is, my new layer never went through a mini moult like the other five did...

Knowing me, I think it will be the same for me too. What's more, I still have five EE's, who have never laid yet! I'm dying to know what colors they will lay. Even if they just lay a brown egg, I know I'll still be happy.

Not sad about using you tube. Before mine laid, I thought of doing the same thing. (Like mind's...) Of the two possible layer's, (beet red combs etc.) I still thought they wouldn't lay until the days grew longer. Then one day I walked in and see a green egg laying in a corner on the coop...

I know how you feel. Six days ago, one of my six Easter Egger's gave me my first egg. It was green. PS: Like yours, the egg my girl gave me had white on it too. All of the ones since, have lost the white and are getting a tiny bit larger. Not by much, though. 41.8 grams (peewee) 51.7...

Cinnamon?

As pretty as he might be, I'd put him in the pot. I wouldn't want to pass his "terror" gene on to next generations. I'm a newbie to chickens, but not to dog breeding.

I just had to see, too! That is amazing.

That IS a pretty color! I find it hard to take a picture that truly represents the "real" color, too. For me, it seems outdoors without flash is best. The flash seems to wash out the color.

I'm sorry to hear about your Pippie. I can only imagine what you are feeling. Try to lighten your heart by knowing you've been a good Mom to her.

30 weeks and finally my first egg! I'm not looking a gift horse in the mouth, but is the girl, that laid the egg yesterday, the same one who laid the second egg today? The second egg was on the floor of the coop not too far from where the first egg was laid. The second egg is almost exactly...

Congratulations!!!
