First Egg!!!!!!!!!!!!! And it's a BIG one.

[Harley Chick]

It's finally happened!!!! Our first egg!!! I believe it's the Golden Comet at 20 weeks today. It's bigger than the large eggs I buy from the store so could it really be a jumbo?? Can anyone tell me how I can verify which pullet has laid this one? I have two girls squatting right now but the GC has the larger waddle than our BR.....

Congrats!
Bet that's a double yolker.
Also bet that's a GC egg....think BR's are lighter colored.

Checking pelvic points may help you determine.....

Ironically my Lucy laid her first egg yesterday....it was very misshaped (ovaly) but it's pretty. She is my Barred Rock.

That 1st egg is so exciting (and the following ones aren't bad either).

Busy weekend here at the hen house. 2 darker ones I believe are from our Mimi (GC) funny shaped one was laid yesterday by Lucy our BR......aart you are so correct with your egg ID'ing. Lucy was like a pacing mother yesterday when I was installing their new curtains.....she approves obviously because later that day I found this in the box she was inspecting......they are such delightful creatures.

Well, not really...just know that GC(or any sexlink) are lay earlier, darker, and more prone to DY.
Was it a Double Yolker?
