I was quite pleased to come home yesterday evening from work to find my first egg. It was quite delicious this morning. Here's short video of my first egg:

I got my chickens on April 12th. At that time my supplier estimated they were about 14 weeks old. 20 weeks was May 24th, which came and went with no eggs. So, if the estimated age was correct, they are now about 28 weeks old, and I finally got my first egg. It was a little frustrating, but I am just happy they are starting to produce. Hopefully, yours won't take that long.

That's great. As of yesterday my Barred Rock has given me 7 eggs. Your first egg looks like it is a good size. Mine have been on the small side, but are getting bigger each time. They are delicious!
