Finally! Someone is paying rent (aka first egg)!

Yes! A silver lining to my week (I have been sick all week)! Egg song, but when I went out to feed, Faith, BR, was agitated, clucking, etc. and no egg. I spread out the hay in the nest box so I would be able to tell if someone went back in. She immediately jumped in, and I thought she was going to lay, a couple of contractions, and she came out. About 20-30 minutes later, very excited egg song, and a cute little 40.6g egg was in the nest box! Large store bought egg, right, for comparison:

Yay! Still waiting for a first egg from mine!

They're almost 22 weeks, all bantams though. I've heard they may take longer?

Oh, I don't know anything about bantams, except that they are smaller, lol. Should be soon, though, I think? Good luck!

Thank you! My sentiments, eggsactly!!!
