First Egg Countdown

[Happy Chooks]

Yay... my girls are about 32 weeks. One of my six hens, the only one with a red comb and waddle (sp?) laid her first egg yesterday, while we were right outside the coop... we heard the "egg song" for about two minutes, she came out of the coop and low and behold, a small, perfectly egg shaped, brown egg. It was about 2". We did the happy dance because we've been waiting for so long, how egg-citing.

Congrats!

I am up to 4 eggs in 6 days now. My 27 week old EE lays almost every day, but her sisters haven't laid yet. I have all 4 eggs lined up in an egg carton and I wrote the date each one was laid on the carton. I haven't even cracked one open yet because I am watching for size/color changes as new ones are laid to see if it is one of the other EEs laying. A couple times a day I open up the carton just to admire the eggs and wonder at the fact that I am actually collecting eggs from my own back yard (finally)!

I am such an egg nerd!

Got our first egg from one of the 4 white Leghorns today at 21 week! The roll-away nest box worked superbly, too!

Yay! I like that the chicken is hanging out on the left side of the picture, too.

I got my first egg today! I have 3 Barred rock hens and one of them laid her first egg at 22 weeks. I expect another one to start laying soon as well.



Both pictures are of the same egg.
