Mole Negro my black ameraucana is somewhere around 30ish weeks.... I got her 24 weeks ago and she was about 6-8 weeks old. I found it when I was getting help fixing a door on my coop. So it was a total surprise!! It was on the floor in the middle of the coop but the next day when I went out to feed them she came out grabbed a bite and went back in... So I waited and she went into a nesting box scratched around and then moved to one further back in the coop.... The other chickens went in to see what was up so I thought no way she won't lay an egg with them in there... and then I hear a magic DROP!!! Smart girl. Since Sat I have gotten 4 EGGS! I have them sitting on my counter .... I just sit and stare ... they are so PRETTY!

Here she is posing for the camera.


And here is a pix of her lovely minty green egg... although it looks white in the picture ....


It was promptly dropped by my 2 year old godson and well this is what it looked like....



Beautiful dark yellow and YES there is a bullseye! My 5 month old Silkie Tiny has been a busy boy......

Now if only Caesar will get with the program!!! She is 24 weeks old..... and my bantam cochin & cochin frizzle but I hear they can take AGES to lay!!!

Congrats! Such lovely girls.

And that has got to be the best picture ever of a bullseye.
 
I think Ethel, my Austrolorp laid two eggs. Unfortunately, I couldn't eat either of them. I found her in her nest yesterday, but I think I startled her so she let them go while up on her perch. One had a shell and broke when it landed below her. The other didn't have a proper shell and managed to land on top of their feeder. That one was in one piece. After I took a picture, I ripped it open and gave it to the dog. So at least someone enjoyed it. It did have a yoke.

But it is a start. Here's the picture.

 
Wanda, my Barred Rock, who was hatched on September 26, laid her first egg today. I knew she was ready!

That picture was taken 12 days ago.

Here's her first egg, which I think is a pretty good size for a first!


And another pullet from the same hatch started squatting this week. Way to go girls!
 
Grats! Wanda looks familiar.... by any chance have you posted her to the Chickendad threads?
