I know, you've seen one egg you've seen them all, but I uploaded a picture of the first egg from one of my girls (in case anyone is interested)
Of course we are interested, we are after all, chicken addicts. And first eggs are very exciting!

I've seen that too. Keep an eye on her, but at this point, I wouldn't worry. Make sure they have access to oyster shell though. Some vitamins/electrolytes in the water wouldn't hurt either.happy chooks et al, I need your help. I have a couple of girls in my flock that I introduced late in the game. They are both somewhere around 9 or 10 months old. The one which is a lavender orpington, is the one that was fairly traumatized when we introduced her. I think she has been laying soft eggs as I have had, I want to say three now, all under where she sleeps. The last one had a long yellow thing coming out looked like it was a long bit of cooked yolk coming out of the egg. The egg was broken, so I couldn't tell where or when or how that might have happened. Do you have any idea what is wrong or have any ideas for me on how to fix her? She is fairly well aclimated now, but she is still a little bit of an oddball for chicken. Thank you all for your help. Incidentally, I brought her in with a wellsummer that was in her original flock, eho quickly established herself at the very top of the pecking order, but still stayed closr with her friend the orp.
My chicken( Barred rock) has been squatting for 5 days now and I was wondering if she will lay any time soon.. I have been feeding them all flock for a couple days now and put oyster shells in another feeder for her... She has not been interested in the nesting boxes and is always on the roost.. She doesn't eat the oyster shells either... When will she lay?? The spacing between her two pelvic bones is 2 fingers.. she is not laying because I watch her every move.. lol
No egg today. I guess they are starting out slow.
