21 weeks old. 2 laying so far. 1 started Thursday and the second started Friday. Now 14 more need to catch on.

I think I may have gotten two new layers today. Left is yesterday's. The other two are from today.

Thanks! I have one in the box now. So hopefully I'll get my second one for the day.

They are RIR from cacklehatchery.com

I'll know for sure at around 11:30/12:00 which will be 26 hours after my first egg.

I think I just got my second first egg. 22 hours after my first egg and slight difference in color and shape. Yesterday's egg is on the left. Today's egg is on the right. What do you think? 22 hours apart.

Congratulations, I got my first egg today also

Yes. It help them feel comfortable with the nest boxes and they will peck at it and realizero eggs aren't food (at least for them)

Yay, she did it. 20 1/2 weeks. First egg from 16 layers. On side of a ceramic egg for size reference.

Today may be the day. I have 1 of my 20 1/2 week old pullets sitting on the nest box with her beak slightly parted. In a soft pant kind of way. She been in there for about 30 minutes so far. I'm excited.

Just one egg is all I need. 16 girls, but 1 egg will let me know I'm doing everything right.

Just went to the store to grocery shop. I gave in and bought my girls a head of cabbage. I told them no more cabbage until I see at least one egg. What can I say, I'm a softie and they love cabbage. They turn 19 weeks tomorrow.

Pranked us? My phone corrected prank.lol

False alarm a few minutes ago. Outside waiting for my 9 year oldso bus to come. We heard a huge racket coming from the nest box. The egg song was so loud. She proudly walks out the chicken coop with her 18 week old bright red comb, sort of strutting in a way. My uncle looks inside the nest box...

I'm jealous. I'm ready for mine.

I'm going crazy with mine just turning 18 weeks today. I can't imagine how you are feeling.I am already having a hard time wondering if they are happy, am I doing enough. They seem so happy but no eggs. This was taken a few days ago

No sign of an egg is better than 17 1/2 week old sqatting, singing, nesting for weeks with no eggs. Quit teasing me already!

Ok,I'm putting my foot down. I'm out of eggs. My girls are 17 1/2 weeks old. I REFUSE to buy another dozen of tasteless, expensive, horrible store bought eggs. I have several with big,red combs. 2 for sure are squatting when Johnny Mack mounts them. It could be tomorrow or 2 months from now...

16 1/2 weeks. Ugh the wait is killing me. Pretty red combs on 4 of my 16 girls. More than 1 finger clearance in between pelvic bones on 3 of them. Singing egg song for a week. I think they are torturing me intentionally. They get a kick out of seeing me check the nest boxes 100 times a day.
