That's awesome! I would like to have 1 or 2 EE's sometime in the near future.

I noticed this morning that the one I think is laying has a beautiful red comb. The other 2 BO's, one is still small and kinda dull and the other is staring to grow and get red. One of my RIR's still has a small comb but the other is starting to grow and nice and red. Is that a good indication...

Yes. I don't know if it's because it's from 2 different girls or something that happens when they first start laying? If it's 2 girls, then they laid their first, and only so far, on Wednesday and nothing since. Is that normal?

Right to left is the order for when we got them.

I waited about an hour and checked them and she wasn't in the nesting box anymore. When I checked it though, there was an egg in there! I think she is the only one laying right now. We have had 3 in 4 days and they have progressively gotten bigger. That's all I have to go on since I've never...

I knew we were getting close to finding our first egg and my son kept asking when it was going to happen. It finally did on Wednesday! He called me on his watch from the coop to tell me about it. Then on my way home from work today he called me and my wife, while she was still at work, to tell...

I'm excited about the first eggs to come, hopefully in the next few weeks, but I think I am more excited to see my sons face when he finally gets to find one! He has been raising them himself for the most part. I told him he needed to learn it if he wanted to do 4H with them. He hasn't backed...

I don't think anyone is making fun of it. Sounds like OP is just surprised to find out that people actually do that to others. I'm sorry this happened to you and I hope you've been able to build your flocks back up

Same here!
