!!!Our First Eggs!!! (2 in one day!)

Oh my gosh---Our little Chickie Darlings have started laying!!!  Well, two of our Darlings have started laying anyway....

Our Golden Comets are 19 weeks old today.  When I went out to give them their daily ration of yogurt and feed this morning, I checked (like I have every day for the last 3 weeks!) the laying boxes for eggs.  I was disappointed once again that we had no eggs.  So many people have posted that their Comets laid at 16 or 17 weeks; I was starting to get pretty frustrated!  When we went out to turn the girls loose for free-range, I checked one more time.....  And there, next to their laying boxes (not IN their laying boxes) were two lovely little eggs.  I nearly had a heart attack!

One dark brown with redish speckles and one brownish pink egg.

Next to an icky old store bought large egg.....

A little small, right?  But they will get bigger.  (Right?)  lol

Now of course, I worry if I don't have something to worry about, so.....

What shall I do about them not laying eggs IN the laying boxes?  I already have fake eggs in each box...?

And where does everyone stand on feeding egg shell back to the chickens?  I already feed them yogurt or cottage cheese along with oyster shell for extra calcium.  Oh and since the eggs could have been out in the heat for as much as 6 hours, will these be ok to eat?

Oh my goodness, I am just SOOO excited!  Now just gotta get the other 4 girls to start laying too!  It's been a fabulous 19 weeks.  I have already enjoyed my girls sooo much!  Though I feel like we've been waiting for eggs FOREVER---I just had to share my enthusiasm with folks that would appreciate the situation!  Non-chicken people just don't understand!  *giggle fit*

Congrats on yours too!  It's crazy exciting!
