this was the first egg I found it was not even close to the hen house or nesting boxes or anything lol but it was brittle and as you can see, very yellowish just like a yolk. It broke when we VERY gently tried to pick it up! :(

and then I opened the hen house and found this one in one of the nesting boxes. pretty much a perfect egg! Proud chicken momma moment! :p


they laid these yesterday in the late morning and haven't laid since then. Is this normal?
 
Perfectly normal. For the first month or so of laying it is going to be a little odd and irregular. You might see more shell-less eggs or some odd shaped eggs and you may get eggs on an odd schedule. It takes time for her body to work everything out.
