We got our first double yolker egg last night! From a pullet who just started laying less than 5 days ago! All the eggs we've gotten have been peewee, but that one was a large on the scale. Pretty awesome!

Wow very cool was it pretty big?

Adorable!! I know, isn't it fun knowing who laid the eggs?? I don't know who had done all of mine,, but I was there to witness the first few being laid. So cool!

My eldest RIR is 24 weeks now, and looks about ready to pop - but I don't want to count my eggs before they're hatched, so to speak.

The other two RIRs are 19 weeks and don't have well developed combs yet, and they're joined by an Ameracauna I ended up renaming. She's very pretty but kind of mean, so I named her Kaswell, after the Drop Dead Diva character.

So, the great daily egg hunt is starting here soon

We are still waiting on our first egg, but very excited for all of you. I know the egg fairy is not far away, maybe I should tuck a quarter under Rascal's pillow tonight!

I have 3 pullets that were hatched the first week of May. I haven't seen any squatting behaviour but the BO's are starting to redden up. I am so anxious to have them start laying, especially my Marans with their beautiful mahogany eggs!

Speaking of naming the girls; my wife named 3 of the six Black Australorps we have. The "lead" girl is Lillian, named after my mom, the mean girl is named after one of my sisters, and one is named Sneakers, because she has a thing for "inspecting" your shoes if you're sitting in the yard with them! We think all six are laying, but we've so far only gotten a max of 4 at a time (several times). They just recently started getting to medium size, but most of the eggs are at the upper end of small.
