First eggs!

[stormrobin]

I just got my first two eggs! I don't know who layed them and the used their nest box same one lol. Can you eat their first eggs and what about one that is ever so slightly cracked?

You'd think the chickens would have learned to initial their eggs by now.

Congrats on the first eggs!

You can eat their first eggs, for sure. The cracked one - I wouldn't but you can scramble it and feed it yo your chickens

Oh ok, so kinda like recycling. Is that something I can do anytime I find a damaged egg?

Sure, they're also a good source of protein if you are caring for a sick bird

Our red sex linked laid her first egg yesterday!! We think she laid it right at 4 months of age. We are proud of her. She showed all the symptoms. Her waddle and comb got bigger and redder and she would immediately squat when attempting to pet. It is a little small, but we understand it is her first. We will talk to her about thinking about putting out bigger ones. lol
Attached is a picture of her egg next to a large grade A egg from the store.

Congrats! I had a third but It was broke and on top of the nest box under the roost. I think she dropped it from the roost. Silly girl.
