Okay, the sweet 16 are now 17 weeks 4 days old and I've gotten 2 eggs in the past 3 days but I think I know who is laying, not 100% sure, if you'd like to take a guess that would be great. Eggs are somewhat small but for the first ones I'm totally okay knowing this is just the beginning of more to come.

My guess is Gidget our SS, she has been so loud and vocal and super red, I laugh everytime she goes into the "talk".

These are the others that are possibilities, vocal and turning red?

Congrats. I remember my first egg. Fortunately, it was green which made it a no brainer to point to the EE as she's my only green egg layer.

The only breed I have that you have is a Buff Orpington, and I think she needs to turn more red before she'll lay. And for what ever it's worth, she was my last one to start laying. About two-three weeks after the others started. But she's a producer now that she's ramped up.

Thanks!!! I love the SS's and Gidget is so funny and docile, I think she is the one, but I've not witnessed it.
