Turns out there was a mix up in the order and the age of my chicken they had told me was wrong, she was only 14 weeks not 17 when I got her which is why I wasn't expecting an egg any time soon :-\ . Nevertheless I received my first egg today from her and you were right it is extremely exciting :-D . The egg was a smallish pastel blue coloured egg weighing 44g. My last columbines first egg was murkey green so I was quite surprised to find it. She had upturned all of the straw in the nestbox . I can finally relax now and enjoy eating her blue eggs .
