Who else is waiting for that first egg?

Yay, she did it. 20 1/2 weeks. First egg from 16 layers.

On side of a ceramic egg for size reference.

My girls haven't laid yet. All about 25 wks. Do you think now is a good time to introduce a ceramic egg?

Yes. It help them feel comfortable with the nest boxes and they will peck at it and realizero eggs aren't food (at least for them)

It happened! One of my Rhode Island reds was acting funny this morning when I let her out of the run so I put her back in and when I came back out the perfect little egg was sitting in a nesting box in the coop. So excited!

I think I just got my second first egg. 22 hours after my first egg and slight difference in color and shape.

Yesterday's egg is on the left. Today's egg is on the right. What do you think? 22 hours apart.

Nice! We are up to 11 eggs now from what appears to be two different chickens. Same as yours, one set of our eggs is much darker than the other.

I'll know for sure at around 11:30/12:00 which will be 26 hours after my first egg.

It was 4 days between our first and second egg. Then 2 days between the 2 and 3rd. egg.

It's possible. What breeds do you have? I can tell the difference between my 4 layers right now, one lays a brown speckle, another lays a deeper brown with occasional speckle, another lays a creamy brown color, and the other lays white. It helps that I've been able to observe who's in the nesting bin too though.
