First eggs!

[Bluegrasschicken]

Out of the blue I found 4 eggs when I went to clean out the sleeping enclosure! No nest boxes yet as I thought too young (20 weeks tomorrow). I have 7 hens - 5 silkies and one polish crested and one d'uclle bantam. Any guesses to which of those breeds is the earliest layer? It was so exciting, like Christmas morning haha!

I don’t think any of those breeds lay earlier than the other, but that’s super exciting the first eggs are always amazing! I’m sure you already know this but I recommend getting some nest boxes in there ASAP! Many more eggs to come!
