    Egg Bound After 1st Egg?

    Hello, Last night we took a few of our girls to a pen in the basement to give them a reprieve from the heat. Early the next morning, we found that one of them, our EE "Darla," had laid her first egg. It was small but strong and normal-looking (we know it was hers because the other two lay brown...

    Are these from two different chickens?

    Yesterday, we were surprised by our first egg. It was a small, brown egg and it was laid just outside a nesting box. Today, we found another egg. This one was slightly bigger and a lighter brown, laid inside the nesting box. We believe that the first egg was laid by our Black Sexlink and that...

    Is this egg safe?

    I found an egg in my run this evening. I suspect it may be Noodle's first egg since its a bit smaller and lighter than the eggs laid by my only other hen that has started laying. I checked for eggs this morning and admittedly could have missed it since it was tucked up close to the door but it...

    Got First Fairy Egg!

    More and more of my EE and BL pullets are coming into production. They are about 20 weeks old, I've sorta lost count. Every new egg is a joy, but I've been hoping I'd get at least one little "fairy egg" as things get started... and today I did! And yes, I know these have other names, like wind...

    I just have to share! One of my leghorns laid her first egg! She is 18 weeks old tomorrow. I think she laid it today, but not quite sure. I have two leghorns Opal and Pearl and two New Hampshire's Scarlett and Ruby. A little over a week ago Opal started squatting whenever I approached her...

    Egg questions

    I'm not entirely new to keeping chickens but this one has me stumped. I've got 6 pullets between 15 & 17 weeks old. 2 EEs, 2 GLW, a Freedom Ranger & a White Leghorn. I also have 6 older girls 2-4yo. Last night after all had gone to roost, I found a single soft shell egg in the run. I'm assuming...

    My First Egg!

    I have 8 Pullets, about 19 weeks old. 2 of each, Buff Orpington, Australorp, Light Brahma, and Easter Eggers. I noticed one of my Buffs acting weird going in and out of the coop several times this morning. I did some research and realized she might be close to laying, so I immediately got my...

    When did you get your first egg?

    I did a quick search and did not find another thread like this so if there is one, please let me know and I’ll move over there. I’m looking forward to the impending arrival of my girls laying their first eggs (they are about 16 weeks now) and thought I’d love to hear how others felt when they...

    When will I get eggs?

    I got my chickens on Feb 28th, so 16 weeks ago. It was my understanding they were already a few days old. (here is a pic from that day) They are Rhode Island Reds and EE. My Reds are starting to show more red and a few of each breed will shut some if I run my hand gently over their backs. I...

    Fifi's first egg!

    I'm a proud chicken mama, lol. My al6 month old turken,Fifi (she's the turken in my profile picture) laid her first egg this week. Actually 2 eggs from her thus week, so she's putting her Australorp sisters to shame. They are all the same age and I think we've maybe gotten 1 egg from between...

    First Egg!!!

    tonight I go to shut up my chickens and see this little beauty in the corner of the roosting box! Time for those nest boxes I guess... Based on Maturity and color I’m betting on my Mrs Marans! The larger one is from one of the Pullets the farm bought last summer for size and color comparison. So...

    First Egg On My Birthday!

    My birthday was 2/26. One of my sapphire gems had been making these honking noises looking very impatient days before running around so I looked into that and found out it could take a week for her to lay after she starts making those noises so I wasn’t expecting Her to lay one so soon but I put...
