First egg by our Australorp

[The Tiny Homestead]

The other day our grandson found the very first egg of our very first chickens, in our brand new coop. He was so happy...
It was a long wait of about 18 weeks since we got the chicks about few days old.
In the next two days we got two more eggs. They are quite small. Hope they get bigger. We have 9 pullets, 4 australorp, 2 RIR, 2 orpington and one barred rock. We spotted today one of our Australorp was sitting in the same nest where we found the first 3 eggs, so I assume she is the one that laid them.

Would our other breeds start laying very soon?

So exciting. My Australorps are about 14 weeks along. Can't wait to get those first eggs

I just found first TWO eggs in a nest (out of our our 9 pullet)

I took an advise to save the first egg. I managed, very carefully to make small hole on each end and after breaking yolk I blew out the content.
Any suggestions how to decorate it /paint and possibly cover two small holes on each end are welcome.

thanks
