We waited until we had enough eggs for a good meal to share!! Only 2/12 hens are laying so far-they have been doing pretty well! Still pretty tiny eggs, except the double yoker!!!-cooked them up tonight, so delicious!!! (Even saved them a little )
Today was the day!! Went to let them out this morning and there was my first little egg laying in the dirt! Unfortunately it was in the run and not in the laying box, but regardless I am super excited!!!! I think it may be from my buff orp because of the tan color...
Ok i know i keep posting with hopes of the first egg annnny day now! I know my little leghorn is gonna pop one out anny moment!... The other day my boyfriend sent me a pic before i got home from work, of an egg set on shavings- my forst thought was "omg an egg!!!", second thought-"that jerk...
My boyfriend and i have been having dreams about the first egg!!! Scary!!! Haha. Im heading home soon to check for the first egg..... Its only a matter of time!!
They are exploring their boxes!! Making a mess of them-squatting, very talkative!! Keeping my fingers crossed and hoping for the first egg any day now!!
My girls are about ten weeks old now... I know I still have a while to wait but I sure am anxious for my first egg!! I think my easter eggers will be last to lay too.. I've heard they're slow pokes!
