I got my first egg today! My California white named Elsa. She will be 19 weeks tomorrow. This is my first egg ever and I'm super excited. She didn't have it in the nest though. She laid it in the run under the ramp to the coop. [/IMG]
Last night i herd my chickens, not sure which one but one of them did the egg song. this morning i went to pet them and feed them and i got the squat! between the egg song and squatting when do you think i should expect eggs? i have 2 production reds and a California white.

Awesome! Thank you! I have just put in there nesting boxes and this morning they were all disturbed and looked to be used. I'm going nuts waiting for eggs!

It is fully predator proof and I don't mind them staying outside. I just want to make sure they will use there nesting boxes that are in the coop when the time comes I just want to make sure they know where to lay there eggs. Thanks!
I have 2 production reds and one California white. I have a perch in the run and also the coop. They only perch in the run, and at night they sleep on the perch in the run. The only time they go inside the coop is early morning at light. And once in the coop then lay on the floor. They are 15...
