    First Egg Countdown

    I got my first egg from Roxy, my barred rock, yesterday. She is 22 weeks old. My granddaughter took it home with her before I could get a picture of it. She was to eggcited to give it up. My speckled sussex, Dottie, who is the exact same age as Roxy, isn't even close to laying.

    Quote: They were both almost 20 weeks when they laid the first egg. And I have good news: Princess, my RIR, laid a real little brown egg today, with a hard shell and it was in the nest. I think she was happy she finally got it right. My next two chicks are 16 weeks, and while Roxy, my...

    Winnie (GLW) laid her third egg in a row today. She just goes in the nest makes a little noise and pops out an egg. My GH ate two of the eggs yesterday. For those of you that have had eggs for a long time you will think I am so silly, but I couldn't eat them. I have never personally known an...

    Well we got our first egg, but it wasn't a good egg. You were right Happy Chooks, it was Princess the RIR that laid first. The egg had more of a membrane than a shell on it and Princess was eating it. It must have broken open. I hope the next one is a better egg.

    I thought our Winnie was going to be the first to lay, but she still hasn't produced an egg and now Princess is showing signs of being ready to lay an egg. They are both 19 weeks old.

    POL: how much do you chickens love you?

    My oldest two are fives. Princess, my RIR actually gets jealous and doesn't like me to hold the other chickens. The other four are 4's.

    First Egg Countdown

    I am a new chicken mama and am waiting for my GLW, Winnie, to lay her first egg. Her comb is very red and she is 18 weeks old and two times last week when I went to open the coop in the morning she was in the nesting box. I can't believe how apprehensive we are, waiting for the first egg.
