First Egg Countdown

[sunflower4you]

Yesterday we gained a 3rd layer. Hubby found the egg while I was at work, he said it was white! When I got home it was a definite green! Hubby swears it was white when he found it

My one and only EE has joint the layers!

Here is a picture of the new green egg, next to egg #4 (in 4 days!!) from another new layer! The big egg is from my only hen. I can't believe I gained 2 new layers this week!!



For some reason I wasn't watching the EE for signs that she would be laying, she is the smallest in the flock and lowest in the pecking order! Out of my original 5 chickens she's the first!

Congratulations!

First egg!! Hooray! My Barred Rock, Roxanne, is the first of my five 23-week-old girls to lay an egg! So exciting! The days are so short and gray here in Seattle that I was afraid I'd have to wait until Spring -- but Roxanne came through for me! Yay!

Hooray for not having to wait until spring!

Hooray for not having to wait until spring!

Three eggs in four days from my beautiful Barred Rock, Roxanne! Each one is a little bigger than the one before!

I am counting down the days until I can lift the nest box lid (or droppings board or a hole in the ground) and find an egg from one of my 12 layers. They're all 20 weeks old and 2 australorps and an easter egger look very red in the comb and (hopefully) ready to lay. The waiting is the hardest part, lol.

Just wish I knew how old mine even were! Maybe then I'd be able to relax and not keep hoping!

Do you have pictures of your birds? The one in your avatar looks old enough or close to old enough!
