My First eggs

[pam buske]

I got my very first eggs. I have 6 nesting boxes and they all laid in 1 box. Is the normal? I am a newby to raising chickens.

Congratulations on the first eggs. Yep, there's always a favorite nest box.

Yes, it is very normal for them all to lay in the same box

How exciting! How old are your pullets? Mine hatched 3/9....I'm impatiently waiting

My husband says you should put their name on each nest box. Then they will know where to lay.

Such a beautiful group of little eggies!!

Yes it's very common for them to lay where another did.
It's UNCOMMON for pullets without adult hens around to lay in a nest box for first eggs. You should be very proud of your young ladies!

Congrats! What a lovely bloom you have on the one egg! Makes the color so chocolaty
