A new development today!! I found two green eggs in the nesting boxes!! That means BOTH my Easter Eggers are laying. YEAH!!

How old are your EEs? Mine aren't laying yet, but one is mating and one is puffing out in her rear end.....I'm hoping soon.

I found my first RIR egg today. It is a pinkish brown. She could have been laying sooner but I'd never seen any of the 5 RIR's in/on the nest before today.

how old are your RIR's?

My EE's are just 28 weeks old. Both started laying the same day!

I have noticed that if a hen lays really late one day, the next day may be her day off (since it is a 25 hour cycle). Yesterday my Lucy got disturbed by a couple of coop mates and she left the nest only to lay her egg in the middle of the run amongst all the other hens.

They then proceeded to squawk that "What Is That Odd Thing" squawk they do when they see something new. Then the peck, peck, peck started, one at a time. I moved as fast as I could to collect the egg before disaster hit. And boy was that one toasty egg. Seriously brand new. Lucy laid so late yesterday I bet today will be a day off for her. Gerty, the black austrolorp had the day off yesterday and she laid bright and early this morning about 10 mins ago. I am lucky I get to watch them so closely so I know who is doing what when.

All of my girls are the same age - 33 weeks. Both of my GCs have been laying for more than 10 weeks. One of my EEs has been laying for 6 weeks. The other one, who, by the way is not terribly bright, might not start laying until the spring.

Andromeda laid her 3rd egg today. So far she has been a one egg every other day girl. Now if Persephone gets off her tail feathers and starts laying every other day on Andromeda's off days, I could have a blue or green egg every day of the week

I have another EE too. She hasn't really even started squatting yet, I think it might be a few more weeks for her.

My 2wk old chicks DIVING into their morning FF. 2 of them spent the night UNDER the Pallet house instead of Inside w/Momma. One of the black chicks is turning out to be a Barred Rock as I suspected, male. Still haven't figured out where the White chick came from as I've no egg laying white hen or white Roo. Although my Barred Rock Roo is 1/2 Light Brahma mix so that's the only thing I can think of. (He LOOKS like a BR)
