Dreamed my chickens laid eggs

I just had that feeling today was the day.

Yeah, sometimes you can just tell.

Today was the day! One nice solid brown egg! 22 weeks old.

Nice!! Congrats!

I must tell everyone, I have a terrible case of chicken math! I managed to get two BCM pullets!

They're about 8 weeks old so I will be dreaming of their eggs until they lay. That makes 8 new pullets this spring. I swear I won't get any more.

Oh wow, that's a lot of chicks and chickens! Haha

I'm pretty happyhappy with my 8 but there were some that were sold out when I got mine. For me it's less egg basket goals and more feather goals

For example, I would love to add Speckled Sussex, some Wyandottes, and maybe some different colored Orpingtons. Plus the Sussex and Orps are friendly.

I don't know if this is common or if I got lucky but mine aren't all boring uniform or dark brown, some are a little darker and speckled, but some are almost pink, some are almost cream, etc. So I get variety in the basket withot even meaning to, besides the EEs

We were supposed to get a Blue Orpington, but the hatch was bad so we got a Swedish Flower Hen instead. So far she's a really nice chick, very friendly and getting some beautiful feathers. My daughter picked her out.

@KDOGG331 , is everyone laying? You should post a pick of your egg basket.

That's awesome! I've been kind of wanting to try both of those.

For the most part, getting mostly 6 to 8 eggs a day. Only got 6 today. Usually get 7. not sure why the one isn't laying, hasn't been for a little while but then again it's usually a different one not laying. Like sometimes a blue layer doesn't lay and sometimes the brown egg layer doesn't on the days I get 7 so maybe they all take turns ha i don't know. But yeah, have only been gettinf 7 or less lately. But I'll definitely post a picture of the egg basket when I remember!
