Our last first egg from Penelope. All our hens are laying now

O Here is the basket, took the picture just now. The one marked 1 is the first egg. Not as different as they look in my hand up close (I've given some away). I'm not trying to be argumentative I promise and I know yall have more experience collectively but I live with these girls day to day...

We got another first egg. either yesterday or today. it was in the back corner of the hen house and had no shell. so 3/4 laying so far and they are 19 weeks now.

i made our nest box out of a tupperware bucket. i got the instructions off youtube from becky's homestead and my hens love it. i use wood shavings. there was only one "accidental" egg dropped in the run when Charlotte came out to eat and drink after having been in it for most of the day. it was...

the two of my hens that just started have been alternating days. Bird (CR) was day 1 and 3 and Charlotte (RIR) was day 2 and we are pretty sure she gave us two today on day 4. both my other hens have started squatting and checking out the nest box. they are all 18 1/2 weeks old now.

two of mine started at 18 weeks, one columbian rock and one rhode island red. they both squatted for about a week as well before they started

Lol, I was so excited I forgot to mention that my chickens are 18 weeks old. We have 3 columbian rock and 1 RIR. two of the CR are still a few weeks away from laying.

two of my girls are close!! heard the egg song for the first time today and then scared one of them out of the nest box when i opened it to check for eggs. they also have fluffier bottoms than the other two girls. lol. the RIR is really getting into the submissive squatting. it's been stinking...

My friend just got her first egg today. We got our chickens at the same time from the same place so I'm hoping mine will start soon too!!

i think they will start laying soon! the top pictures are of charlotte (rhode island red) and bird (columbian rock) at 11 weeks and the bottom at 15 weeks. someone is also making a nest in the nest box. i'm thinking it was bird because there was a white feather in there. bird is also very chatty...
