Countdown To Eggs! For June hatches 😊

[Iluveggers]

Last of my June 10, my Light Brahma, laid her egg today!

Just for fun.

Yup, she's a silkied Blue Cochin bantam




Oh, huh, I missed that part! Super weird




I've got one more Easter baby to lay and then 4 more June babies after Athena. But I got 3 eggs yesterday (the two pullet eggs and one from one of my older girls), which was the most I've gotten in a long time, too! I could actually maybe do a little baking soon!

You have an Easter chicken not laying? Sounds like a cockerel to me. I’d return that one!

Coldest temps of the winter thus far, -4, and these girls are still laying strong. Plenty of frozen eggs but I’m still thrilled they’re laying consistently. I also might have a new colored layer with a pale grey-blue egg. Wouldn’t that be cool?

We have had 2 eggs in the past 3 days. Today's was one of the April girls, not sure about the other could have been Galena's first egg.

I have all 10 laying now too! My Faverolles went broody (crazy girl), and hasn’t laid since I broke her, but she did start. I’ve been checking for eggs quick before I leave for work and yesterday grabbed 2 I saved from freezing. The other 4 must have been laid late afternoon as they weren’t frozen when I got home (first thing I did was run out to grab eggs lol.)

Hopefully this weather doesn’t stay cold much longer. Friday is supposed to be the worst here, but DH is coming home for lunch & I’ve already told him to please check for any eggs!

I just have 1 of my 11 not laying yet, a wyandotte. Her comb has gotten pretty big so I think she'll get there soon, but I'm already drowning in eggs now that I have 10 layers lol.

13 eggs today from 17 hens! I believe 2 BC Marans have not started not laying. This means only 2 more hens I don’t know an egg color on yet. It also means almost every hen, from breeder or hatchery, who should lay a colored egg has. Plus lots of heavy bloom and speckles. Egg-citing!

Still lots of mystery left. As I work out who lays what color.

One from my July hatch finally laid today!!

Woohoo, congrats!!


I'm still over here waiting on someone, anyone else to start laying. It's still just Athena for my June babies and Gwenyth the naked neck from the Easter babies. Trixie, the other Easter baby, has been checking out the coop lately, though, and several of the other June pullets are looking more flush and full in their combs and wattles.
