Any one want to join me in waiting for eggs, posting and comparing notes?

Okay I think I missed the egg yesterday, today the Wellsummer has been going in and out to the same spot it layed yesterday, next to the roost

I put some fake eggs in the nests, hope she catches on. Also my Dominic went into the coop today too... I'm glad its the weekend so I can see who's doing what :) In person, not with the cam

I just love days spent around the house, to catch up on what I have to do, and what I want to do!
 
So, my husband found 3 eggs in the flower bed yesterday! One was pretty clean, probably just laid that day. The other two were pretty dirty. My guess is that they're from Friday and Monday. Or, if I have two layers, then maybe Monday and Tuesday. Who knows. Sneaky chickens.

He also caught Agrilla (Rhode Island Red) laying an egg in the flower bed today. So, she's the culprit. My husband left the egg in the flower bed so our daughter can find it when we get home this evening. :)

We have 7 eggs now!

We're having breakfast for dinner tonight! French toast and eggs! Hooray!
Woo Who!!! You have eggs coming out of everywhere!!!

I have 4 -18 week olds - 2 barreds, 1 RIR and a partridge plymouth. I think my RIR will be laying in the next week or so, she's doing the squat thing and it's so funny-- my smallest barred is doing the same- and bright red color abounds-- my 2 others seem a bit slower, so, maybe some eggs soon?? Although with this cold weather and darker days, I wasn't expecting anything until February or so. We'll see, they are funny. Not sure what to do about food though? Do I just offer oyster shell at this point instead of putting them on layer since not all appear to be at the same laying stage?
 
Congrats Debbie! That Welsummer egg is pretty!

That 6" of snow turned into 3" of solid ice last night. That made for a fun trip to the coop this morning, carrying a bucket of water. We only got one egg yesterday. I have an incubator full of eggs scheduled to hatch this week, so thankfully, I will have another distraction from my egg waiting. I'm definitely starting to feel like I'm watching a pot of water and waiting for it to boil. Maybe if I ignore the girls for a few days, they start laying.
