white came from

These are my very first eggs I found just today!! Not entirely sure who laid them, but I think one of them belongs to my RIR, Mary Jane. Can't wait to see if any more show up tomorrow.

Jealous! Congrats on your eggs too.
Question: where's everyone from? Maybe my ladies are just still too hot here in Phoenix.

How old where your hens?

. ROASTER?

Could be a broiler.

So here are my little eggs. From left to right: Sat, Mon, Tues and today - wednesday. Is it possible that they are from te same hen? We have 1 SLW, 3 RIR, 3 EE and 3 Black australorps. I think my BA has been the first to lay with te RIR close behind, the EEs and SLW to follow there after. This is nased on their combs and wattles being brighter in color. What do you think? Same hen or different?

Congrats!! How old are they?

Congrats!! How old are yours? I am impatiently waiting for mine to start, so I am comparing mine to everyone else's age. My girls will be 15 weeks on Sunday.

Congrats!

Quote: Mine are breeder quality, so they are a bit slower to mature than those from a hatchery. She is 6 months to the day. (25 1/2 weeks old)
