Is it normal that when one chicken in a breed starts laying, that the others start soon after? We got our first egg last Sunday, and by this Sunday I was collecting my 13th egg and all three Easter Eggers were now laying. The other breeds have not started yet.

Got our 4th little egg today....this time on the floor of the coop! Looked like she was trying to make it to the nest, but just couldn't quite get there. All have been perfect 3/4 size eggs. I guess they will get bigger as time goes on. Just hope the rest of them get started soon!

Congrats! And yes, they will get bigger.

Not necessarily. They lay when their bodies are ready. It just happened that they matured at the same rate.

Is it normal for RIRs eggs to be so different in color?
