    Who else is waiting for that first egg?

    I know eggs here are anywhere from $2.79 to almost $4.00 a dozen. Do any of you sell your eggs. What do you charge? Once my ladies get going well, I plan on selling them by the half dozen at my work (I already have a laundry list of interested co-workers). What would you sell a half dozen for? A...

    Who else is waiting for that first egg?

    OK I found a white egg along with the brown egg this morning. I will officially stop freaking out because it looks like now, one of my leghorns is laying. So one of my leghorns, and one of my Rhode Island Reds. The rest should follow suit soon I hope

    Who else is waiting for that first egg?

    I wasn't really referring to the color of my chickens. When my stepdad bought them, from the local feed store, he says he thought the guy referred to the breed as a yellow leghorns.

    Who else is waiting for that first egg?

    So how do I get my ladies to lay in their nesting boxes? Since it looks like they will be fond of laying them in the run. I noticed some of the nesting boxes appeared to have the wood shavings all fluffed up by the hens about 2 weeks ago. So I assumed they were getting them ready as...

    Who else is waiting for that first egg?

    That is my assumption. I don't know which hen laid the two eggs. But based on what I am told about egg color, I assume yes! I really thought my big yellow leghorn that has the black feather(I am told it is a cross breed) would be first. Just based on how she was acting, and she is the biggest. I...

    Who else is waiting for that first egg?

    After getting our first one yesterday, we had another today. I assume it is one of my RIRs. Don't they lay little brown eggs? I thought I read yellow leghorns lay white eggs, and My other ones are leghorns. The egg layer, so far,isn't using the nesting box. Nor are any of them sitting on or...

    Who else is waiting for that first egg?

    So did I! My coop isn't incredibly big, but I have enough nesting boxes for each of them, they have plenty of room in the run, food, water, shade, fresh garden greens, etc! Everything!
