First Egg Countdown

[kpsocalchicks89]

I've seen her dust bathe before and this was different but it has been really humid here. I'm patiently waiting for her first egg

Woohoo! Twinkie, my Gold Comet, just laid her first egg! Man, she's a crazy overachiever, because it's jumbo sized. Poor thing!

Congrats Pele! I got a first egg today too. I think (and hope) it's from one of my barnevelder pullets and not my BSL. If it's my black sex link, then she has to go live in the other coop because the egg looks too much like a barnevelder egg.

Wow! I'm getting frustrated! I have 5 golden comets,6 barred rock and 2 black. All are 21 weeks old today and still NO EGGS!

I was really surprised at how long it took mine to lay. I know they are not production breeds but the first EE was at 24 weeks and my second was at 28 weeks. Someone pointed out that EEs can be a mix of any kind of chicken bred with an Americauna. So, apparently my two are very different. Still, 28 weeks is soooo long! Ah well, here is the beauty my little Sunshine gave me right before I left for the holidays (it is green, hard to show in lots of sunlight)

Congrats everyone! Roheryn, does your EE have a pea comb?
I have an EE who is not laying yet, probably not until November.

Congrats!

I got 2 first eggs today. One from a barnevelder and one from (I think) my BSL.

Excuse my ignorance but what is a BSL

Not ignorance....I didn't know either til I looked it up ;-) I believe it means black sex link
