(I know you guys have never heard this before....FIRST EGG!)

[LisaMarie81]

Found our very first 2 eggs today! One in a nesting box and one in the run (??). We have 8 girls, but they are all only 17 1/2 weeks. Didn't expect any for another few weeks. Was VERY surprised. My 10 year old was hysteric with excitement! She asked for first dibs on eating the first eggs. She says they are the perfect size for her. At 10 1/2 she's only 53lbs and 51"...a peanut....these first 2 eggs are pygmy size and made especially for her. So she shall have the honors tomorrow morning .

Congratulations!!!
My EE laid my first double yolker on her second egg. It never gets old. I was shocked because the first eggs are so small.
Guarantee your daughter will say it’s the best eggs she’s ever had! Enjoy!!

So, I know typically it will be hard to tell who's laying what, but based on the fact that we have a Barred, Brahma, Orpinton, Wyandotte, Cochin, Bantam Barred - who all are listed as laying brown eggs and a silkie and Polish who lay white and cream, can I assume these came from my 2 little bantam girls? or does color mature with laying as well?

or does color mature with laying as well?

It pretty much will stay the same, might get darker if the 'spray booth' wasn't activated with first eggs(not uncommon).

Here's some tips on how to tell.....
