Wow! This is exciting!

I was watering my plants this afternoon and heard a *thud* in the coop, so I ran over and found my first ever egg! She must have laid it earlier this morning, since she wasn't the chicken in the coop at the time. The only reason I sort of know who laid it is because only one of my chickens is old enough (about 5 1/2 months old), and the second oldest are only 13 weeks olds. Is it possible for 13 week-old EEs to lay?

Any insight would be much appreciated.

Anyways, here's the chicken that I assume laid it:

Could it be one of the EEs behind her, since the egg appear to be a peachy color?

And here's the egg:

I can't answer your questions...just wanted to say congrats, and to ask you what kind of chickens those are.

I dont know about the age of layers. But great big kudos on your first egg. I know it's very exciting.

Thanks! It IS very exciting, especially since it's sort of out of the blue... I really wasn't expecting any eggs at all, which makes it that much more exciting.

FlewTheCoop: The ones in the back are EEs, they're 13 weeks old. The one in front (that I assume laid the egg), I think is a mixed breed chicken that's raised as a meat bird. I got her from a slaughter house and the person who gave her to me said it's an Asian breed, but I'm not sure how reliable that information is.
 
(wince) I'm sorry...I'm a newbie. What are EEs? I can't figure it out, and I just know it's gonna be obvious. haha
