    My First Egg?

    Hello! First time chicken girl here so I’m not sure what is normal and what may need adjusted in my girls diet, if anything at all. I have a mix of 15 girls that I’ve raised from chicks. They were born the end of February. I’ve been feeding them Kalmbach Organic Layer Pellets for a couple...

    Our Australorp laid her 1st egg!!

    It was an egg-citing morning here :weewhen we found our first egg. We are pretty sure our blue Australorp laid it as our other Australorp has much narrower pelvic bones and smaller looking vent. It weighed in at 38g but was perfectly formed, lovely orange yolk and tasted DELICIOUS!! She was...

    Our first ever egg!

    Well, it finally happened. One of my little chickpeas became a hen today! So we are officially embarking on the next stage of chickening. They are all about 18 weeks but I suspect it was one of my Isa Browns. Yesterday I put up some new curtains made of an old sheet. I put up some nesting box...

    free range eggs

    Hi everyone, I'm new here & have a question. I have 6 Rhode Island Red hens that are 19 weeks old. I am waiting for my first egg. My free range hens return to their coop and are locked in every night. My question is will they go to the coop to lay or will I find eggs hidden outdoors ? Thanks...

    First Brown Egg - Pullets age 17 weeks

    First Egg today! Pullets are 17 weeks and 3 days old. Egg is brown, so it must be one of the following: Black Australorp, Silver Laced Wyandotte, Barred Plymouth Rock, Black Jersey Giant (but she's hardly red in comb), EE (but expecting pink/green and they are not very red in comb). We...

    Rhode Island Reds: a few days shy of 18wks

    One of my hens this morning didn't rush out for food and water. She hung back inside the coop, and didn't come out right away. Then she went back inside a short time later. I was wondering if she might be getting ready to lay her first egg? She's squawking a little bit too.

    Very First Egg

    Wow! We got our very first egg today and I was not expecting this for a while yet!! Are our 23 girls starting to lay? They were 4 months and 1 week old today, so is that very young or is the egg a fluke? The egg is smaller than normal but very pretty, clean and almost perfect!! Of the 23...

    November hatched Egg-a-long

    Hiiii!!! I got a brilliant idea to do an “egg-a-long”. Kind of like a hatch-a-long but just waiting for who lays the first egg! No prize (except an egg!!) but thought it would be fun. I wanted to restrict it to November hatchlings. That way we’re all within a few weeks. Also, posting photos of...

    It’s An Ameraucauna

    Yesturday my first egg was layed by my pullet, Robin. We had been very excited for the first egg—Especially Robin or her sister, Becky to lay one— because, it’s the FIRST EGG! Who isn’t excited? But also, we wanted it to be Becky or Robin, because the egg would determine if they were Ameraucauna...

    Hello from Katonah, NY

    Hello everyone! Here is our chicken history: we moved from NYC to the country last summer. We found a place with a small barn and decided that putting a horse in it like the last resident was a little too much for us to bite off, but chickens sounded just about right! We ordered 7 chickens...

    Question About Egg Laying...

    I'm expecting 1 or 2 of my chickens to lay soon. I entered my pullets' birthdate in a calculator website or something, and it said they would lay around February 14th. One of my EEs, Robin, is now nicknamed, "Loud Mouth" because of how much she loves to 'talk', and it's like one of my Barred...

    RSL burying fake egg?

    Hi everyone! So earlier this week my 21 week old RSL has been squatting. Her comb/wattles have become much more red and her pelvic bones are about 2½ finger widths apart. I put a fake egg in one of their nesting boxes and she has been "rearranging" I guess you could say, ever since. Moving...

    First Egg

    YEA! We had been on egg watch for a few weeks - nothing. Then as a practical joke I placed a small purple "Easter Egg" the grandchildren had in their sandbox in the coop. After which, I gave the girls a talking to about their promise to provide breakfast in exchange for food and shelter. I...

    When did your chicken start laying?

    I know this question has probably been asked a gazillion times over, but I'm curious when everyone's chickens started laying? This is my first time chicken keeping. I have 5 birds, all 18 weeks. 1 Red SL, 1 RIR, 1 GLW, and 2 Ameracaunas. If you have one of these breeds I'd love to know when...
