First Eggs!!! A little early??

[FuzzBall]

My RIRs are only 3 1/2 months old and we found two eggs in the hen house today. My girl went crazy...

One was almost regular size and the other was half that. I'm thinking they are from two different hens but does this seem early? Not complaining

A bit.

Congrats on the first eggs!

That's great, congrats. Here's what you do, have your RIRs give my RIRs a call & fill them in on their secrets. Mine are 19 wks and I'm waiting patiently... kinda! What type of environment are you in?

Turning greener (with envy) by the minute!!!

I've got them in a 6x8 coop with a hen house and separate egg boxes built on the back. We have been letting them free range about 4 days per week too. Also been giving them lots of fruit and veggies along with helping them out with a good supply of crickets and grasshoppers. The coop is in the woods with lots of shade. I'm wondering if they have laid some in the woods that we don't know about??

In comparison, my 4.5 months RIR are slackers!!!! The BR and EE are no better. Their combs and wattles are only starting to grow.
