I call those pullet bullets. Congrats!

Hysterical. I just told my husband this and he's rolling too. Course, I just told him what Henopause means and he thought that was hysterical too.

My home-bred EE mutt gave me her first pretty teal egg today. Every first egg is exciting, even if it breaks....

Beautiful egg! I have a multiple generation olive egger that I'm waiting to lay. I love my home bred mutts, they are the best layers! It's a nice variety in egg colors too!

Hooray for eggs!

My EEs are 21.5 weeks and no eggs yet. The other night I actually dreamed that all 5 of my chickens laid their first egg on the same day...only there were 6 eggs so somebody laid twice!

Waiting for my 25 week old Chantecler to start laying.

Awww she's pretty! She kinda of looks like my Dutch Bantams.

Thanks Mystyd77! I think I got really lucky with her, she (and 4 others) came from a breeder not far from me. I am very happy with them now If only I would find that first egg.

I agree, so exciting. Heck my BA 3rd egg was laid while she was on the roost and it broke and therefore was eaten but it was still exciting. Congrats. It's a pretty color.

lol I don't miss those free loading days. I'm ok with my girls taking a day or 2 off but I'm glad they are all laying regularly! My newest laying is already laying me medium sized eggs, meanwhile the other 2 are still laying smalls and my hen that's laid the longest is still laying peewee size but no matter, I am glad to get eggs and not have to buy them!
