First olive egger egg!

[PeachyPeckers]

Got my first olive egg today! I knew it was coming this week based on her behavior! I highly recommend fake eggs in the boxes and letting the babies watch another chicken laying in the box! Last year my first flock laid all over the yard and it was a huge ordeal trying to break that habit. But olive egger understood exactly where to go. She went into the barn and into the box all by herself in the middle of free ranging. So proud!
It's very oblong shaped, is that normal?
(The small egg is from my BR hen, she taught olive where to lay!)

Congratulations!

My olive eggers started lay a couple weeks ago. I have been getting 3 eggs a day out of 4 birds this week. That egg look like a double yolk egg to me.

That's what I thought about the yolk too! Can't wait to crack it!
