[Happy Chooks]

It's been a while since I've been on this thread. Life has been very busy! Congrats to you getting your first eggs, and welcome to those joining that are still waiting.

Hello and good news!

The little Leghorolles from the Easter HAL who was looking ready just layed her first pink pullet egg. She layed it on the floor of the coop, but she'll figure out the nest box eventually. All her friends were staring in amazement the whole time.
Here it is next to a RSL egg.

Still watching this thread to celebrate everyone's first eggs

Congratulations! That is a nice egg, and Big Red is a very cool name :cd

I have 2 Easter Eggers and 2 silver Wyandottes ...all 19 weeks old and still waiting for our first egg. I'm thinking of opening a box but since the coop is small I'm afraid they will only use the box to sleep.

what is the breed of the buff one because i have one that looks the exact same. i know you said you have two Easter eggers but she doesn't look like one.

Well, I didn't think this day would ever come. Got my chicks on March 25, they were 1 day old. Today my Black Australorp gave me my first egg. I couldn't be happier; I was right next to her when she dropped it. Now it won't feel like forever waiting for the other 6 to lay eggs.

Thank you )

Well, it's official. All eight of my girls are laying! The last hold out was one of my RIR bantams. Her first egg is the smallest in this picture. We got our first batch of chicks in March.
It took a long time but was well worth the wait! We have 2 BR, 2 EE, 2 Australorps and a pair of RIR Banties.

Waiting on my flock of BSLs. Several of them have big red combs and wattles and a few not quite. One I'm starting to think is not a BSL, she is black and her comb is blackish and VERY small. They are about 19 weeks old!
