I have a Wellsummer born April 2012 who still has still not laid. Her comb is getting bigger and brighter every day...hopefully with the days getting longer she will surprise us soon,

Have you ever wondered how a hen can lay an egg every day?

I have two wellies that were hatched last April as well. Still waiting for eggs from them also!

They'd better. I've threatened that they 'd see the bottom of a stew pot last December but hadn't done it yet! One of them seems to be getting ready though. Her comb is bright red and she has been checking out the nest box. I am hoping soon.

Wellsummer's are far to pretty to stew.

Probably not fair to mention this to you peeps just getting eggs from your April 2012 flock, but my September 2012 birds have started to lay. White eggs were first -- California Whites -- and a few brown eggs, too, probably from the Speckled Sussex. Weeee! Pullet eggs are so CUTE!

My 3 girls have done a great job of keeping us in eggs this winter, but today I found my first soft shelled egg broken in the nesting box.  They do get oyster shell with their food so I am not sure why this happened.  I don't know which one laid it, but I am hoping not to find another anytime soon.  sad.png
 

We currently own a Buff Orpington (Sunshine), an Ameraucana (Elizabeth Taylor) and a Black Australorp (Rascal) along with a 10 year old Blonde Lab (Daisy). I have one 8 year old egg collector named Amelia.

I gather that if a chicken takes a little break from laying she can have funny "starter" eggs again. I wouldn't worry about it too much.
