First Egg!

[khonch]

Putting the girls up tonight and cleaning out the coop when I noticed this little beauty! I'd seen someone was messing around in the boxes but didn't check this morning so it could've been in there all day. Also I have NO idea which chicken to thank but still very exciting!

Here it is in all its glory

Thank you! It really is haha. I didn't expect eggs for another month or so.

Oh, so fun! It's perfect! What kinds of chickens do you have?

It was perfect! Hard she'll and everything. I've got 2 buff Orpington, 2 cinnamon queens, a black Australorp, a black and a red sex link, a black silver laced Wyandotte, and a new Hampshire.

Congratulations!! And how old are they?

We got 6 of them the last week in February then two more the next week and 2 more the week after that. We had to rehome my roo though so down to nine.

My husband thinks it was one of the cinnamon queens because she's the "squawkiest" lolol

That sounds like a fun flock! They do make a noise after they lay. I think it's supposed to draw predators away from the eggs and some of them tell the world more about it than others! My Buff Orpingtons really liked to put on a show about it.
