I'm beyond excited!!! One of my two (I have a good idea of which one) Easter Egger pullets just layed a tiny olive egg, its about 1 3/4 inches long and 1 inch wide. They are both barely 16 weeks old!!!! Their birthday is April 3, so Monday they will be 16 weeks!! I"m estatic because I wasn't expecting an egg for at least another 2 months! When I came back this morning from my volunteer Fish Resque, my 4 pullets were free ranging and I only saw 3 out of 4, then I called a couple times which usually all sends them running my way, but not the missing one, I went and looked and found her sitting under a fir tree and acting like a hen who is about to lay an egg, so I left her alone, she got on and off the "nest" a couple times and when I got back from Wal-Mart today, there was a tiny olive egg waiting for me under that tree!
Now, she is with her 4 fellow pullets, 1 her age and 2 other ones that are 12 weeks, should I start her on a laying feed? or should I wait until the other ones are older to avoid the other ones eating too much calcium???
Thanks in advance
