    First egg!

    We woke up as soon as the girls went into their runner to put one of the girls in jail (being a bully) and found an egg in the henhouse! So exciting!!:wee The egg also appears to have the letter "A" scratched on it, which my niece pointed out to me, and funny enough, my name starts with the...

    What breed are these girls?

    Chicken Friends! I need help Identifying these two girls. I've thought bielefelder, brown leghorn, legbar, now I have no idea! My husband said girl #2 (see photo with identification) was in the nesting box this morning, then later got this as her FIRST egg! #1 hasn't started laying yet...

    Our first egg!

    Oh my gosh! We just checked the coop and have our first tiny, perfect egg! I am so proud! Lol! Pretty sure it was this beauty, Miss Dahlia. She's always seemed the most advanced. Oh I'm so excited!

    Hen laying at 10 months

    What are the chances that a hen is laying her first egg at 10 months old? Backstory - we got this Americana from North 40 in April of last year. She has always been super skittish around us. We have another Americana of the same age that we have been getting eggs out of since August. We NEVER...

    First egg of the year!

    So, while Latias is stuck inside, the rest of the flock seems to be doing alright. In fact, today, Miss Snow (also known as Snowball Jr. as named by my daughter) the Leghorn has laid her first egg! Which is also the first egg of the year for us. In short, hopefully the others will be laying...

    My first egg!!!

    Out of my sixteen pullets, I thought my cinnamon queens would lay first and buff orpingtons would lay last. (I have cinnamon queens, buff orpingtons, easter eggers, silver laced black wyandotte, delaware.) However, today i received my first egg from (I'm pretty sure) one of my buff orpingtons...

    Who laid this egg?? 😅

    Hey there! Currently we only have two hens, one RIR from McMurray that we raised ourselves and is almostttt 15 weeks I believe (shipped out week of June 3rd and I believe we got them that Thursday), and one that we were told was a 1.5 year old maran (I didn’t ask which kind and we’re newbies to...

    Stress after laying first egg?

    I suspect our Ducky may have laid her first egg today. She’s 20 weeks old, an Arctic Blue Egger. I’m not positive, but it’s between her and my Easter Egger that it could be. She’s acting strange to us. She’s still eating fine, but keeps laying down a lot, panting a lot, tail down, and her vent...

    Do eggs change color over time?

    My Noir Marans hen just layed her first egg (yay)! I thought Noir Marans were supposed to lay dark chocolate brown eggs but this one is very light brown. Any chance her eggs will darken as she continues to lay or is this the color they'll be forever? Thanks!

    1st Egg! But other Pullets haven’t laid yet. When do I start Layer Feed?

    My 19.5 week old Black Maran laid her first egg this morning! Unfortunately it was crushed soon after because the shell was so soft. My 4 other pullets have not laid any eggs yet. They are all roughly the same age but different breeds. I understand different breeds of chickens start laying at...

    16 weeks, 1st egg

    I really thought 16 weeks was a tad early but I found a wonky, cracked open/eaten egg this morning. Shell was very soft too and partially missing. I started oyster shell 2 weeks ago. I have 3 barred rocks and 3 RIR, one barred rock looks a lot closer to laying than the others, red...

    Light Brahma 18 -19 weeks old laid first egg

    I've tried to search and research, and while most say Brahma laying age is between 6-7 months, I did find ONE post that said hatchery pullets can lay early. Ours are 18.5(ish) weeks, gotten from TSC(Hoovers)when they were roughly a week old. Bianca, our reddest of the Light Brahmas has been...

    Help! Egg Bound Pullet struggling to get her first egg out

    Hi all, I have a pullet (21 weeks) whose been straining for a few days now, but she was able to defecate, so I wasn't entirely sure if she was egg bound or not, especially because she hasn't started laying yet. Today I saw her straining and saw the egg. I have her in the bath with epsom salts...

    Our very 1st Egg!

    When TSC was having their Chick Days, we purchases what we thought were 2 RIR's and 2 barred rocks (all supposed to be pullets). We have been excitedly awaiting our first egg (they turned 18 weeks yesterday) and it was one of our 'Rhode islands' except she laid a blue/green egg so I guess she's...

    First Egg!

    One of the 19 week old laid an egg yesterday and hasn’t laid another one today. Is this normal?? They’re all eating and walking around fine, but there’s no egg today.

    First egg! (Thinking it's a glitch, but excited anyways)

    One of my light brahmas gave us the adorably small egg. Thinking it's a glitch as they're only 18-19 weeks, but they've started allowing my roosters advances, so I'm not too surprised.
