I have six hens laying, but checking the nest boxes to see who laid never seems to get old! Hope your girl lays you another tomorrow!

Finally official...her second “real” egg. She laid soft shells for about four days, and has now switched to actual eggs. :wee I am a little surprised at how light it is, for some reason I was expecting a slightly darker brown.

Whoo!!:wee I found an egg today that I am preeeetty sure came from my 19.5 wk gal. However it’s the EXACT shade of one of my other hen’s eggs, so I’m waiting until tomorrow to see if it really was my sg girl.

So adorable!!! I didn’t get mine until she was 9 weeks old, so i can’t say how she was as a chick, but she’s very gregarious. She doesn’t like to be held, but if she’s any indication of their general temperament you don’t have to worry!

Ok cool, hoping for a normal egg soon then, this girl’s been taunting me for almost two weeks already!! :rolleyes:

Ahhh, my sg pullet finally laid at 19 weeks, but it was a soft shell! :hit Anyone know how much time is normal before she lays a regular egg? She’s already on layer with the rest of the flock, so I’m assuming it’s just a normal pullet thing...

I haven’t had any from my gem just yet, but I’ve had a couple other young birds lay bloody first eggs; always a little alarming looking!!

Your boys (and girls!) are beautiful! It’s definitely interesting seeing photos of all the color variations. And last night when I went to shut my girls up, my gem squatted for me! An egg is coming soon!! :wee

She’s gorgeous!!! My gem was 17 weeks this week, and no eggs yet, *sigh*

How fun!!! If they’re laying right at or just after 17 weeks, then I have less than three weeks to wait before mine should lay!

My SG is about 14 1/2 weeks, she’s starting to get pretty pink around the face, so I’m hoping I’ll see eggs from her in maybe another month! I also have a dark Brahma that’s almost 16 weeks old, but I’ve read they take a little longer to lay. The only other chick I’ve raised (she’s now an adult)...

I only have one, but she is super curious about everything! Definitely more so than the other chicks I have around her age.

Hi from GA! I’ve been lurking on this thread but didn’t have an account to comment until now! I recently got an 8 week old SG pullet, so I’ve been trying to find more info on the breed; there isn’t much out there so you guys have been helpful! She’s a very friendly & curious gal, I’ll attach a...
