First Egg Countdown

[Xiao Casa]

Hey guys,

So I got my first egg yesterday! Does anyone know if it is okay to eat the first egg since they are still on medicated feed?? We were planning on switching to un-medicated but had some left in the bag and weren't going to throw it away. We've been fermenting it if that changes anything.

It's fine to eat the egg.

Congrats to all of you getting eggs! I have had several pullets start up as well. It's nice to be in eggs again.

SFrati - they are getting closer, but I'd say you have a bit of a wait yet.

Congratulations!

I thought maybe I wouldn't be quite so excited to get first eggs from our newest flock, but it's just as fun and nerve-wracking to wait as it was when we first got chickens! Lol!

After 7 months and 1 week of waiting, we finally got 3 eggs at once today! These are our first family hens and the kids were excited. We have polish tophats (3 girls). I am just shocked they laid in the month of january, being in ny. It seems the girls knew I wasn't checking the coop everyday because we had an egg laid in the run outside

nice muddy egg. So went and open the egg door and found two beautiful clean eggs wedge between their grain. No cracks and weren't frozen, which meant all laid today

super eggcited the whole family was

It is awesome, nothing like seeing all your hard work pay off with a little reward.

With all of the snow and crappy weather, I skipped going to the coop yesterday. Today when I checked it out my chickens rearranged the nesting boxes. I hope that means that there will be more than golf balls in the nest later this week. Fingers crossed!

They will lay, don't lose hope. Mine started laying from 32-33 weeks. They had been very red in the comb for a long time. Try getting a false egg to entice them

Are you positive on their ages? They still look pretty young.
