FIRST EGG!!!!

[Lalo Moreno]

One of my RIR laid today! It’s my first ever egg from a chicken which I raised from a chick. Almost a whole year and they finally laid. Does anyone know when the others might lay?? They are abou 1–3 days apart in a age.

What fun!!!

My Plymouth Rock laid at 23 weeks. I'm still waiting for her flockmates, a Cream Legbar and a Barnvelder, to lay their first eggs at 26 weeks.

Congratulations! My chickens begin laying between 22-25 weeks old if not during winter.

She is 30 weeks and barely started. My girls decided to wait till the days got a bit longer to start laying.

Its so eggciting!!!! Congrats. My babies who grew up in the summer months, started from 18-20 weeks and my easter egger (Amerucana) took till 25 ish weeks for her first egg. I heard that pretty typical. But seasons, lighting and colder weather can change laying if I'm not mistaken....
