    We're finally getting eggs!!!!😆😆

    My girls are 19 weeks old and we got our first egg on sunday!! I'm pretty sure it's from one of our McMurray big red broilers, shes doing the squat and was hanging around in the coop looking at nesting boxes and fussing. Lol Then I got another one yesterday! The bigger one was yesterday and...

    First egg by our Australorp

    The other day our grandson found the very first egg of our very first chickens, in our brand new coop. He was so happy... It was a long wait of about 18 weeks since we got the chicks about few days old. In the next two days we got two more eggs. They are quite small. Hope they get bigger. We...

    First eggs, one with very thin shell

    I’m so excited that my girls laid their first eggs! I found 3 eggs today! Two were in their pool and one on the ground. One in the pool was very thin shelled, kinda soft. I’m guessing it’s the one girl who seems to be more timid. Do I just add chick grit to their food? What food do y’all use...

    Is this just the first egg and will it get MUCH bigger overtime?

    Hi, so one of my newer pullets I’ve had for a few weeks now along with another hen, seems to have just laid her first egg I’m assuming. It’s very VERY small haha! It’s smaller than a pigeon egg. At first, I almost thought it was a young cockerel soon to be rooster because her hackle feathers...

    What breed laid this egg?

    Hey guys! We got our first egg today! I have five hens that are of laying age and I can't figure out which one laid this giant egg! We have a barred rock, a blue copper maran, a production red, a silver laced wyandotte, and a light brown leghorn. I think I have narrowed it down to either the...

    First eggs - there are four?

    Hey all! I have four ducks - two Pekins (one drake) and two Golden 300 Hybrids. It’s been nasty rainy here in the PNW for two days, so I stupidly let myself be lazy and not clean the run for two days. OF COURSE, I come out this afternoon to clean, and find FOUR eggs in a little nest. My these...

    The Freeloader Chicken Finally Laid at 8 1/2 Months!

    My super sweet and quiet Buff Brahma Flossie Nugget finally laid her first egg yesterday! I can tell she is going to be laying big ones, as her first pullet egg was the size of a regular egg. It felt like forever, but I knew last week when she squatted that the time was finally near. Hopefully...

    What the heck is this? Weird egg.

    I found this in the coop this morning, on top of the nesting boxes. Current situation: of my 6 hens, 4 are laying. Two EE's are freeloading, but they have both squatted, although not regularly. One squats more/longer than the other. All 4 hens laid eggs yesterday, so I have no reason to believe...

    After being very impatient about the first egg our chickens will lay! And after researching that it was normal for them to be a little late, one of our chickens finally lay one egg just on time for my birthday!!!

    First egg!!!!!!!!

    Finally! This was my first time raising day old chicks and I’m so glad we did it- our 7 ladies are sweet as can be and that just makes caring for them so easy. The chicks arrived May 28, all “Sapphire Splash” from Hoover’s via TSC. Rickets laid it near the nest box, so I guess she gets points...

    Egg bound?

    Hi. My Barred Rock is trying to lay her first egg. She’s been constantly digging in the nesting box and has been panting with her beak open for 2days now. I’ve been with her all afternoon. Is this normal behavior for the first egg to be laid? I’ve given her oatmeal with some calcium and she ate...

    Started laying, now NO EGGS!

    Two of our chickens began to lay eggs for the first time this spring. They were free ranging and laying consistently. Over the last few days 0 eggs! Today we kept them in their coop all day, still no eggs!! Is this normal to go three to four days without eggs?
