WOW! Nice big egg. All my girls are close to laying age - about 5 1/2 - 6 months. The behavior is beginning to show; someone has been testing out a nesting box, combs & wattles have grown and are BRIGHT red, more chest bumping, grousing and general hormonal behavior but no egg yet. I have a bad case of egg envy, but happy for everyone who gets their first. Can't wait. I just figured it out - they are saving them for Christmas presents

Thanks chicmom, have you changed your avatar? Your name sounds familiar. It's funny how we go by the avatar pictures and recognize folks. I change mine once in a while though.

lol..that's what I said when I brought it in and showed my DH. Merry Christmas to me! Sounds like you will be getting some eggs soon. You will have to post them. I've posted my small little starters before. It's always fun to get that first egg when you've waited for it so long. After this big egg, I don't expect to get another for a few days..at least.
But, you never know! I have checked her little bottom area out..she looks just fine. It will be interesting now to see how big the next one is.
Oh, best do this....

That's funny. That's how they usually are! But this girl decided to go for it. You may get a double yolker once yours starts laying on a regular basis. They drop a couple of yolks sometimes when their bodies are trying to get the hang of things.
