My first egg from spring chicks. It must have come from an Easter egger, although I thought they laid later. I have leghorns and a black star I was expecting to be first. They are 17.5 weeks old.

Yes it would have to come from one I would think unless on of your other birds is not a pure breed maybe mixed with a EE or something I really don't no. If the EEs comb are not red and don't act like they are laying I have no idea cause that is very early for a EE. Maybe if possible watch them and see if one goes in the nest box or where ever they lay at. If not you could video tape them or something if you are not home. Good luck!I'll get a picture of my easter eggers this evening. I have one that is squatting but the combs and waddles on all seem only pink and under developed. But the egg is definately blue-green tinted. So it must have come from one of them, right?
Mine never did they always had bright red combs. She could be getting to much lighting which is causing her to lay early. Maybe someone else can help. ?!... she is a beautiful bird you've got there but I can't help much. Hopefully someone else can help
Here she is. This is Willow. I caught her in the nesting boxes yesterday and she gave me a second egg today! I'm super excited but still surprised that I have an easter egger start laying just shy of 18 weeks. She really does not look red or more developed than my other 2 that are the same age, but I'm not complaining. Do easter eggers usually look like this when they start laying?
