I'm a first time chicken owner and someone started laying 2 days ago. Both eggs were the same color, small, and in the same spot so I presume it was the same girl. I'm not sure who dunnit, but I have 2 golden comets and the rest are all heritage breeds so I'm expecting it was one of the hybrids (they're all 18 weeks old). One of the comets has been sitting off on her own in the run fluffed up, and today she went inside and roosted up in the back of the coop alone while I was there... unusual for any of my birds because they're spoiled treat-seekers. She has a redder comb than the other comet but her vent is still pretty pale, could it be her that's laying? Do they normally act like they don't feel well in the beginning? She also looks like she sat in some really light colored poop because it's in her fluffy butt feathers, not crusted around her vent feathers. No egg yet today either but its only been about 2hrs since sunup.
