First one came just after July 4th, and didn't even register as "small" on my egg scale!

Where I find them... (and yes, the golfballs worked!)

Using up the store-bought farm eggs (the lower five) and filling in with my own! I've since filled this carton twice!

I think collecting eggs is one of my favorite daily chores!

Oh, and some of my girls started around 17/18 weeks, and the rest were laying by 24. And yes, they've been on layer from roughly 17 weeks.

Got my first "fart" egg about 3 days ago, then a real shelled egg, then one more. I think just one of my girls is laying these, but it's weird. I have 3 sex-links all the same age. Lucy LOOKS the most mature, with bright red comb. Ethyl's comb not so big or bright. Goldie's comb very pale. I didn't see WHO laid the egg I assumed it was Lucy, but Ethyl sure was singing that egg song!

I can't tell you just how excited I was to open the lid to the nesting box (just as I had done every day for weeks!) and found our first EGG! I've been waiting my whole life for that moment! I always wanted a Farm and I dreamed of one day having my very own Hens. Nothing prepared me for the elation I felt today! I still feel it!!! Is this normal??? Lol it's that proverbial kid at Christmas Joy! Pure Bliss! I feel Proud! Like I laid it myself! HAHAHAH it's silly but Chickens make me Happy and today was a red letter day for sure! I can't wait to run out and check the coop in the morning! :D
