First Egg Ever!!

[amanda223]

My family and I incubated and hatched chicks this year to start our small backyard flock. Today we got our first egg!! I was so excited! My question is when will this chicken lay another? A few days or could it be weeks? She is 17 weeks old! Hoping my others decide to lay soon too!

Oh, and what a pretty egg it is!
It could be several days or longer, or she may lay again tomorrow....there's just no telling

What a beautiful colored egg! What breed of hen did it come from?

There was a 3 day gap between my pullet's first egg and her next one. Now she lays 5/7 days, two and a half weeks after her first egg c:

It came from one of my easter eggers, Kala is her name We hatched out a bunch of mixed breed chickens so I'm not sure exactly what she is.
