    Who else is waiting for that first egg?

    So, we have 19 week old BO's and GLW's, 18 week old SLW's and BO's, 17 week old Isa's, and 16 week old BR's. We found our first two eggs on Monday. Two more on Tuesday and Wednesday. Three on Thursday and Friday. They are all pretty small eggs except for two double-yolkers :) Our wait is...

    Who else is waiting for that first egg?

    Well, my one buff orp that I thought was ready to lay surprised me with a first today--not a first egg but a first rooster crow instead. She (he) is 15 weeks old--is it normal for a rooster to wait that long to crow? I had a closer look after the crow and realized that I have been ignoring a...

    I got this young lady :). She's 14 weeks old and I'm guessing she'll be my first to make an egg. Bright red but no squatting yet. Anticipation is killing me :D

    Who else is waiting for that first egg?

    Hey, good call on the mobile version not showing signature lines. I didn't realize it did that until you said something. Funny thing is that I posted that post from my phone. Anyway, looks like this: 3 BR, 2 gold lace wyandottes and 2 silver, 7 Isa Browns, and 6 Buff Orps. I think I got that...

    Who else is waiting for that first egg?

    Hey everybody- You can see my flock in my signature line. I have 20 10-12 week old ladies that need to start paying rent. Some of them are closer than others--I can see bright red combs and waddles on a couple of them--shouldn't be too much longer. And...we wait :)

    Who else is waiting for that first egg?

    Depends on a lot of things--breed, stress, feed, weather, etc. Somewhere between 16 and 28 weeks.
