First Egg Countdown

[ChickenFox]

One of my Easter Eggers has started to lay! Here is a carton with two of the eggs

Are you sure it's just 1? The coloring on the eggs seems to be a few shades different which makes me think you have 2 laying...

Got the second little egg from the barred rock today, this is two days in a row for the rock. What a star! Second egg was very slightly bigger than the first.

2 rir and 2 EEs. All 22 weeks and no eggs. My nesting boxes have been set up for 6 weeks now. I keep sharpening the axe in front of them but they don't seem to be bothered by the threat. Any words of advice?

It is so frustrating. I don't know when my NHR and EE started laying since I got them as pullets from Murray McMurray and they were supposed to be 15-20 weeks old but I had them 10 weeks before the first lay
My EE are blue and pinkie, my NHR are light brown. If I knew how to post a pic I would

All you can do is wait. Mine are over 20 weeks old so its just a waiting game. My girlfriend says ill have eggs in october due to the cool summer we have had i think it will be end of this month.

22 weeks is still pretty young. Just be patient.
