we get 5-6 eggs a week from each of our year old layers.  The newbies are not on a regular schedule yet.  out of 6 laying, i get 3-6 eggs a day.  Yesterday our 7th layer started.

One of my two youngest laid her first egg yesterday.  It's the white egg on the left.  All others shown for color and size comparison.

Yesterday we got 6 eggs from our 7 layers.  It possible that another laid her first egg, so that would make it 6 from 8 layers.

We think someone started laying.

 

Culprits could be

 

GSL (possibility because I found a feather of theirs in the nest box but they haven't reddened up fully yet)

 

Wellsomer (prolly not 'cause it was way too light but they have reddened up pretty fully now)

 

App Spitz (prolly not cause I don't think they are ready)

 

Silkie/cochin cross (prolly not cause she is way too small and the egg was too large for her)

 

No one is squatting yet so one of my older girls cold have just gotten lazy in the location and pigment department.

 

We'll have to see over the next couple of days...

One of the two girls you ordered for me in January laid her first egg yesterday.  We got our first white egg...yippy.  Pictures coming soon.

very cool!

I had a thought to supplement with kitty kibble.

 

Cat food is around 30% protein but I don't know if there is anything else harmful to chickens.

 

Although there was one family on the Tour de coop that fed exclusively cat food...

I would think that this would be quit an expensive chicken diet but maybe they eat less?
