First egg...two days ago

[aunt sissy]

We got our first egg on Sunday. I was so excited!! It was so cute, not much bigger than a nickel but I've heard thats normal? My question is...I haven't seen an egg since. Is that normal?

Congrats on the egg - and, yes, that is totally normal. The production system is just getting going and there are going to be some gaps and hiccups as all the parts get into full working order. Also, keep in mind that even an active, established laying hen will have "days off" from laying during their productive life - depending on breed anywhere from 3-6 eggs a week can be the average, so you can see that there are sometimes multiple days during a single week you would not see any eggs from a particular bird.
