Got our first egg! EDIT: And #2 today!

Congrats on your eggs!! How exciting!

Thank you! We weren't even expecting anything until at least maybe another month. So with no hopes up, surprises are nice!

What is going on over there?! My pullets need to get it in gear, man. Enjoy those first eggs. The difference in quality from supermarket eggs (even the nice ones) is night and day.

Looking forward to it. I got through about 18-24 eggs myself each week. Wife and daughter don't eat too many. I may not get that from 9 hens a week but at least it'll majorly offset my needs.

So last night when I got home from work I went to check on my Ladies and Gentleman like I normally do. Wanted to give them some treats and clean their waterer. I decided to have a peak inside the coop and found our first egg! Don't know which one laid it but at this point, I'm just happy! Our Nesting pads are going in today and their Starter/Grower feed should be finished within the next few days so I will transition them to Layer Feed this weekend.

We bought all our chick's as day old chick's on April 21st.

Our flock consists of 10 total birds with 9 hens and 1 roo.

- Americuana (Frank)
- Jersey Giant (Precious)
- Buff Brahma (Felicia)
- 2x Lavender Orpingtons (1 week older than rest) (Marry Kate and Ashley)
- 2x Barnevelder (1 week older than rest) (Pookie and Baby)
- Production Red (Dolly)
- Isa Brown (Sunny)
- Black Australorp (Poppy)

Barnevelder egg more and likely
