LOL I JUST GOT MY FIRST EGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My chickens are 27 weeks and 1 day old today (hatched June 16th) and I found this in the nest box this morning:

Here's the egg next to a large store bought egg for size comparison:

The hen that laid the egg...Friendly:

I just knew it would be my favorite chicken that would lay the first egg!!

Congratulations. It's always so exciting and, my goodness, did they wait a while. Your hen reminds me of the two I have that lay the same green eggs. They are fantastic egg layers. They have nearly the same birth date too. Maybe ours came from the same hatchery-via-feed store.

Beautiful Egg

Friendly's looking at the camera like, "What's the big deal already?"

Also, this time come spring, you won't be needing to buy any store eggs.

That is a gorgeous shade of green!

Pretty pullet/hen too! Congrats!

Beautiful, love the color of the egg and your pullet. Congratulations~

Thanks all! LOL I just noticed the puppy poop in the first pic of Friendly. LOL Guess I need to get out there tomorrow and do some more poop scooping. Hahahahaha

Oh you're spoiled now!! After having backyard fresh eggs (especially the blue/green ones), there's no turning back. You'll never be satisfied with the taste of the store bought ones from now on.
