82g seems massive compared to this little egg! I weighed it on my cruddy kitchen scale which isn't digital so I have to guesstimate... It looks about 12g.Congratulations. It's always exciting to have a hen lay her first egg. My new ISA browns didn't lay until 20 weeks, but I think all 3 are laying now. They are a darker brown than my other hens. They are also getting bigger. I had a whopper today that weighed 82 grams. It's the size of a tennis ball.
Cuddles...my suspected egg layer. She got in the box on her own this morning.
Comparing the egg to an egg from my Dad's. Ours is super speckled and much darker.
And just for entertainment....our resident roo...Polo. He really can't see. Dumb question but do you leave the feather around their eyes alone? He only sees what's right under him and runs into things all the time. And while this is great entertainment for US, I feel a little sorry for him. Oh...as a side note I am NOT choking this chicken. Lol
