it's official, all of my 27 1/2 weeks old girls are laying! Isis finally gave me a light bluish green egg today! so now I am just waiting for Peach, a 21 1/2 week old Bantam cochin x EE... i loved the wait, they are so enjoyable and it was exciting even if a bit disappointing, but once it started... it was only 2 weeks before they all started!


Nice collection of eggs! Congrats!
 





I have 4 of these ladies at 30 weeks old. No eggs yet. Look at the size of those bums! ahhh! Today I thought I heard one singing the laying song but found no egg. wah!
Yes, very pretty birds.....I have heard Buff Orps are great chickens, but slow to begin laying, however it should be any day! They are fat and fluffy! PS, Ivy is squatting!

I love the round eggs.

Those bums look more than ready to me. Maybe they're hiding their eggs. ??? These photos could have been taken in our chicken pasture, except our flock doesn't let the fruit hit the ground.

It would be impossible for me to say if all of our hens are laying or not. I think the most we've ever gotten in one day is 49 eggs out of our 55 laying hens, and one of those 55 hens was broody. Our bantam hens have yet to lay, but I suspect they are less than delighted with their current accommodations. They are all safe and comfortable, but they don't get to run around outside yet. We will fix that soon and then I hope they'll start laying in the spring.
