First egg!!!!!

Congrats on your first egg!! Both of my white leghorns are laying now. Really small eggs but regular as clock work,,, every other day,,, I was surprised at how small the eggs were. I am assuming that since they just started laying that the eggs will get bigger over time. Anyway I don't think the excitement of gathering eggs will ever wear off! Congrats again!

Mine run over to me like I am the best thing since ice cream, then they run away like they are horrified.... go figure?

My younger. BR and RiR jump all over me
But the older six run so I kept my distance and let them come to me.

OOOOO so my dad was cleaning out their storage and came across a Marsh Turn-X Incubator model TX6. It has the automatic turner. It appears to be intact and working. I will get it tomorrow and set it up to run empty. Is there anyone in the Reno area that has fertile eggs for a test batch? My girls are not laying let and Roo Roo is barely realizing he is a boy.

Hopefully this works and then I can move on to fancy eggs (cream legbars and marans)....My husband called me bird brained today.... pretty sure is he is 100% right bwahahahahahahahahaha

That's pretty cool. I do have fertile eggs. I have Marans and Olive Eggers.

Thank you! We have a total of 4 eggs including the first one I posted. 3 have been brown like the first, but there was a cream colored one yesterday! So we have at least TWO laying now! Small pullet eggs too but they'll get bigger!

Actually I have a couple fertile eggs - all of ours would be fertile.

Any tips on getting our rooster to be a bit nicer to my wife? He doesn't seem to bug me much as I really don't let him - but my wife now hates him and he used to be her favorite. LOL. I tried telling her that she can't act scared but I'm not sure that is working out for her. I now have to put him in a carrier when she goes in to clean or replace water/food.

P

Where did you get cream legbars!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

They are my new obsession but I do think the husband might kill me if I get more chickens...

PapaBrooder, here on BYC had really nice stock. Not hatchery. I have 6 leg bars from him and they are giving me really nice blue eggs and one had become an awesome mother.
