How early have your birds started laying?

Her eggs will get harder as she lays. Congrats I can't wait till the RIR start to lay.

I bought 2 White Leghorns(along with several other Chicks) on March 13th, and today I collected my 3rd small white egg. I got the first one 6 days ago, it was quite a surprise. I noticed one of the Leghorns sitting in the nest box but I would of never guessed she would be laying this soon..

What I noticed was "squatting" and very red combs and wattles. The other thing I noticed was being very friendly and wanting to sit on my lap.

Exactly what I noticed. The Leghorn that has been laying has a really red comb and wattles and follows me all around the run, normally she runs as far from me as she can get..

My 18 week leghorn laid its first egg today. I have been waiting...we all have, so it was very exciting to find. It was small but perfect!

I have 6 15wk old pullets and 2 have very red face, wattles, and combs (1 red sex link, and 1 barred rock) My BR has always been the sweetest bird so I haven't noticed a difference there but the RSL has always been the most scared chicken. Her name is Worrywart for that very reason. But last week she started giving Lucy a run for her money

It's shocking how much her personality has changed in a matter of days.

Worrywart and Lucy are the two closest to the bottom of the pic

Won't be long now , rsl looks like mine ! It's so much fun and interesting when your hens start laying. You have spent so much time taking care of these birds and it pays off when everything falls into place!
