Oh my gosh!!!!! I just went outside and was hanging out with my chickens and I looked in the nest box and there were eggs!!! There was 5, but my daughter cracked one. I have 3 isa Browns so I’m not sure which one laid them but I was so excited, I screamed when I saw them.

I only feel like 2 are laying because they look more mature, but they are all the same age (17 weeks). So I could be wrong. Do they usually lay just one a day?

I have two that are laying right now. When they first started laying, it was sporadic. The first to lay has settled into one per day now, after almost three weeks. The other one has laid one normal egg and three soft shell eggs so far. She just started laying last week.
I think I read that usually they lay every 24 to 26 hours if they are bred for laying. Some breeds don't lay every day.
