Got my first egg today. I have 3 Wyandottes, Blue, BLR and Splash? Not sure which one laid the egg as they all look to be the same maturity.

Breed: Wyandotte
First Egg: 24 wks 2 days
Color: Lt. brown with speckles
First Egg Size: 2 1/4" long, 4 3/4 diameter, small starter egg

These are my first chickens and I am so proud!

I have a BLR wyandotte that has failed to grace me with an egg at 30 weeks old. She's thinking about it, though, because she has started free-ranging with the other egg-layers instead of hanging around the chicken yard with the immatures.

Let us know when you figured out which one laid.
