1st Egg!

[BooBooMagoo]

Had 2 egg songs this morning but one was just keeping the ceramic egg warm and didn’t do anything…the 2nd laid her first egg!!!! 17.5 week old white leghorn. Her 3rd sister is still sick, so doubtful it will be her and the 4th leghorn is way behind in maturity so don’t think it will be her either..but posting pics of the 4 other girls taking bets on who’s next…the phantom egg songer leghorn or one of the others?? Place your bets now…winner gets…umm…the satisfaction of winning lol (all are same age - 1&2 RSL, 3&4 BSL, & #5 is phantom egg singer white leghorn (pic was last week her comb has developed more since but not as much as the egg layer)

The one with the redder comb and wattles. It's hard to tell from the pictures. Plus, whoever is starting to make the egg song sound. Tell tell signs. #5.

So the combs must develop before the eggs, right? Mine are 10-11 weeks-no combs yet. Maybe in another month.
