First Egg today! Pullets are 17 weeks and 3 days old.
Egg is brown, so it must be one of the following: Black Australorp, Silver Laced Wyandotte, Barred Plymouth Rock, Black Jersey Giant (but she's hardly red in comb), EE (but expecting pink/green and they are not very red in comb). We also have Dark Brown Leghorns, but they are supposed to lay white eggs.
Egg was laid in the far corner of the coop, not in the nest box. But nest box isn't overly private yet. I am working on some "curtains" for the boxes. We put straw and fake ceramic eggs in the boxes 2 days ago, but obviously didn't take the hint! We started providing oyster shell 2 days ago, so that was well timed.
