Eggs at 4 months?!

[WallyBirdie]

That’s awesome! Congratulations! I’m pretty excited! I wasn’t expecting anything until October! I will probably be checking on them all the time now!

The egg-citement is contagious! I'm the same way, checking a few times a day and annoying my birds with my chatter.
Happy harvest!

some breeds definitely lay earlier than others, anywhere from 4-6 months

This is such a fun thread! Love it when the chickens embark on their egg-laying careers! I think all of mine are online now. Just last night I got proof that all five of my Brown Leghorns are up and running, as I got five white eggs for the first time. Proud as a mama at a piano recital, lol!

Congratulations there! All your girls are working the line and showing off their lady bird skills. It truly is a beautiful and rewarding aspect. Every egg collection is like a small lottery!

You're exactly right there, it is! Even after 8 years, it's still so fun!
