First Eggs!!!

[nanaX2]

We have 3 orpingtons and 3 cinnamerican hens, hatched around Mar. 16. They just started laying this week even though the heat is just wretched. I have heard that you should not eat the first few eggs. When can you start eating the eggs? Also, when do we change their feed? Obviously we are newbies at this. Thanks for any advice!!!

and congrats on the first eggs.

We ate our first eggs and they were fine. You can probably eat them now with no trouble. Your girls should eating layer feed. , you can buy it at the feed store.

Welcome! We don't have eggs yet from our new chickens, but I'll be eating the first ones for sure. We always ate the first eggs of our birds in the past. I don't know why you wouldn't.
