I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!!!!!

[cluckmecoop7]

My chickens are 20 weeks and 3 days old.....and today I got my first egg!!!
I'm so exited!! It's much smaller than my store bought eggs.

So, yes, I can't believe it! I've been waiting so long!

Now, I have some questions:

1. Will there be a egg tomorrow?

2. How can I tell which chicken did it?

Please answer these questions!!!

Also, I thought you might like a picture:

Congratulations! It’s possible you will get an egg tomorrow. How many chickens do you have?

Thank you both!

@Acre4Me, I have 6.

Also, can you tell me how I can find out who did it?

If your hens lay different color eggs,you can tell. If all brown,you will have to watch. You should have another one in 2 days.

6 chickens, all the same age, so you could be seeing more 1st eggs soon. As for the one that laid this egg, it could be as soon as 25/26 hours after this one was laid. Of course, there are individual variations and the fact that they are new layers may change that time frame.

In order to tell who laid this first egg? You could check their pelvis and vents for signs (sorry I don’t have a link for a guide on this). Also, you’ve probably noticed that certain pullets are more interested in the nest boxes and also have bright red combs, so those are your likely candidates.

What color eggs should your chickens lay?

Congratulations! Thats so exciting!!!

All my 4 are brown layers. I can now tell who laid what by the shape and sheen. Watch to see who is going into the nest or who is singing her egg song. After a few days, you'll be able to tell.

This can help, but sometimes you've got to 'catch them in the act' to be sure.

Thanks!

My Buff Orpington's should be laying brown eggs, and my Golden Laced Wyandotte's should be laying.... brown too!

Huh?
