I always laughed when someone would post the infamous words.." first egg, now what do I do?" Now I know the feeling!!! It is both exciting and scary at the same time!
I am just amazed that I have finally gotten this far!
It has been an uphill and often frustrating battle but here I is!Finally!!!! One of my 6 Dominique hens (18 weeks old now) laid a slightly less than perfectly colored egg today! sorta the color of a cup of coffee that one had just poured fresh cream into... even has a few light splotches on it as though the cup of coffee had not yet been stirred. And it is perfectly egg shaped and just the cutest little pullet eggie! I knew they would be small to start but gora!
No way yet of knowing which of the society girls was the guilty girl. They were all standing around looking at it as though an alien had landed in their midst
I think if they could've hidden under anything they would have!
There is a slight chance it might even be fertile but I kinda have my doubts after watching some of Silver's (my Dom roo, same age) fumbling attempts at mating
All I do know is that it feels good to FINALLY have joined THE CLUB!
