Finally Got my first Egg today!!

You guys wont believe this but I have 2 Americaunas, 2 Barred Rocks, Two White leghorns, 1 black sex link and 1 NH Red..ALL 22 Weeks old TODAY!! I have been wishing and hoping and prayin for eggs for a few weeks now...checkin them egg boxes every day and puttin golf balls in there to entice them..This morning me and my BF were out feedin and watering and I told him that I had dreamed that i found eggs in my nest box last night...(I really did)..Two seconds later he opened the door to the nest boxes and said "There is an egg in here"... I was like shut up! Turns out there REALLY WAS! how freaky is that?? And GUESS WHAT COLOR it was....GREEN!! About the size of a bantam egg...That means my americauna's Beat the production breeds in layin eggs!!! Whoo hooo I love my americaunas!..I'm so excited I FINALLY GOT AN EGG!!

 

Ok so the Chicken that laid the First Egg..Choclatini, The Americauna...Always one of my favorites..Now I know why. This morning went out to feed up and she was in the same nest box hanging out...Left her be for a couple hours..Came out to ck the nest...and Wa-La! Another Egg! So now she has laid me two pretty blue green eggs and all my other production breeds haven't laid jack..She is a KEEPER!! Here is a pick of her and her egg..

BTW her egg is the small "pullet" egg next to an egg from one of my G-pa's 2.5 yr old Americauna Hens for comparison.

It is SOOO exciting! Like christmas every mornign when I go outside!! My Americauna rooster had been "fertilizing" like crazy the past couple weeks...I wonder how long it will be before I can Incubate any eggs..They seem too small now,, Like little banty eggs. I have one other EE pullet, Amaretto, Choclatini's sister, the golden EE. I hope she lays Green or blue eggs too! I CANT believe my 22 week old White Leghorns aren't layin yet..Unbelievable!
