First eggs from new flock

[beaks]

My new flick of Buff Orpingtons Has begun to lay. The eggs are all sizes from mini eggs to super jumbo eggs. I have 5 hens that are now laying. I have five others that are a few weeks younger that are still separated and will introduce them and put together next week. Hope all goes well.

Holy smokes, you aren't kidding about the jumbos. Congrats on the new eggs & best of luck with the introduction.

I would not want to be laying an egg that size especially as a first egg.

Just got our first egg today. No idea which of the 8 girls laid it but happy to finally have an egg.

I know what you mean. After raising the baby chicks and waiting for the day they begin to lay. Exciting day when it begins

I was shocked as I wasn't expecting eggs for about another month. They are only about 4 months old.


Seriously though longest 4 months ever waiting on that first egg.

Waiting for the first eggs for so many months is like watching a pot to boil. But the first egg is exciting
