Found our first eggs this morning!

Yesterday, I didn't get out to the coop- we were gone most of the day and evening, so it was too late, etc. This morning, myself and my 2 year old daughter tromped out in the cold rain to check their feed and water, etc. My girls are at 20 weeks, and my patience has been waring! I didn't expect anything at all, but when I checked the last nesting box, we had 2!

Two of my girls started laying almost two weeks ago, one on Wednesday and one on Saturday. (Naturally, I went out of town Wednesday morning and didn't get to collect their first eggs)

Here are the first 2 eggs collected along with a large grocery store egg for scale.

I have 3 chickens from the same hatch day but I am not sure which 2 are laying. One RIR and 2 Delawares. The Delawares look more mature and squat much more readily than the RIR but....

ETA: About how long does it typically take for the girls to start laying full sized eggs?
