Congrats! Every first egg is exciting!

We got our second first egg this morning. I had opened the nesting box and found our RIR in there. "Oops, sorry!" I told her. Then every 10 mins I was at the back door, seeing if she was in the yard or still in the box. I think that she sat on that egg for a while, as it was quite cold by the time she left it there.

You would have thought our BR laid that darn egg, she talked it up so much. the RIR seemed nonplussed and unimpressed with herself.

Mine all stand in a circle around it looking at it like some alien has landed in their midst and they want it GONE!

Noone has taken credit so far other than some "announcing" but then they get real quiet

when I go in to see who it is so I still dunno which one/ones of the 6 girls it is yet.

I fully believe it is more than one
Update: came home tonight to another two eggs. Total so far from Saturday to Saturday is 8 eggies!!!

Here is the "take" from week one. 9 eggs total. Notice the biggie in the middle this one arrived Sat morning

Please ignore the dirty dog pillow I used as a padded backdrop. Chocolate the 13 y.o. blue heeler/lab/????? mix had to be convinced to move after I nearly dropped one so thought a padded "something" would be better than risk losing one She was not happy about moving!!!

I nowwhat you mean about scary too, you wait so longfor your babies to lay a first egg and then you get scared for them.

lol.... brilliant, enjoy the moment.
