First Egg Countdown!!

[Alaskan]

Ok so I got one egg at 11 this morning and another at 4 pm so I know 2/14 hens are laying .... They are all the same age ? Shouldn't they all be laying then? When will the others start?

Well, since they are all the same breed, the rest will probably start to lay soon. But who knows.

Well I am still waiting...not patiently...but waiting. I have 4-5 of my 9 girls squatting and looking red in the face so hopefully I will get some eggs here soon. They are all 18-19 weeks now.

The Suspects:
Amelia (Gold Sex Link)
Daisy (Austra White)
Henrietta (Speckled Sussex)
Ethel (Buff Orpington)
Ella Mae (Black Sex Link)

Who will be first!? I am so eggcited and happy I can share my chicken stalking with you all.

I love this idea of "egg countdown" This is my Black Sex Link (hubby calls her Darth) around 18 weeks....very red faced YAY!!!!

She looks very close!

Nothing today..

.but I think I may have a mite/lice issue. Today I noticed quite a few feathers in the coop and my chickens are shaking their heads as to try and shake something off their heads...I have a lot of birds around their coop. Guess it comes with the territory

SOOOOOO.....guess what I will be doing tomorrow.

I would guess one of the sex links. I think they are bred to lay early. Next year I want to try some heritage breeds, I hope that doesn't mean I will have to wait six months for their first egg.
