Got the 5th egg! One was laid yesterday, and then today at 8 AM! Runt Runt should lay everyday soon.

Got the fourth egg today! It's only Runty that's laying right now, but another RIR is doing the "egg squat". Hopefully Runty will learn to lay everyday, she is a production red anyways. These eggs are so small! (To me at least!)

Got my third egg at 1 pm today, it's just a tad larger than the second egg.

I only have 5, that's how many I can fit in my small yard. 3 RIRs and 2 EEs. The EEs aren't laying just yet, and I don't expect them to for maybe a month or so. One of them is white/buff colored and has slate colored legs. I have a feeling she might be a blue layer, but I can't be certain.

No eggs so far, but Runty and one of my other RIRs sang the egg song this morning. I should get another egg tomorrow, or maybe 2 if I'm lucky!

Not what I expected, but it's not Nugget, the largest, who's laying. It's Runt Runt! The smallest! No wonder the eggs are bantam sized. She was freaking out earlier so I locked her up in the kennel, she calmed down and eventually went into the hide. Next thing I knew, she was throwing pine...

Thanks guys, I can't stop looking outside and seeing if anyone is inside the hide. I can't wait!!!! I've been feeding them quite a bit today, BOSS, greens, wet chicken feed, and I even fed them soome brown rice and a decent chunk of pompano. Spoiled chickens huh? LOL.

Quote: About the laying question, it depends on the breed. The egg above was laid by a production red or hatchery RIR, which were bred more for egg production and less meat. So they typically lay earlier. I don't expect my other 2 Easter Eggers to lay for a month or two, they typically mature...

They grow up so quickly! I got mine on the 22nd of Feburary and was annoyed at how slow they were growing. Now I want them to stop growing! I put some pine shavings in their little hide along with a blown store bought brown egg. They're looking at the nest puzzeled right now. Should I expect the...

What, no comments? Also, when should I expect the second egg? Nothing unusual this morning.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! It finally happened! About 2-3 weeks ago I got my first egg song from my largest and most mature pullet, Nugget. I expected an egg within a few days, but nothing, so I told myself to forget about it and wait a while. 2 weeks later I went to the beach for vacation and had to...
