I'm rubbing it in!!

One of my pullets laid her first egg!! eDH said he didn't think there would be anything till the second week of August. I kept saying 16 weeks. Well low and behold he was out there checking in on them and found a purdy lil egg.

I'm not rubbing it in but I want too

I just wish I knew which one so I could tell her she did good. Oh and I was complaining that they kept scratching out the pine straw well the egg was on a nesting box that still had a bit of pine straw in it. Smart girl.

I admit to happy egg laying dancing in the yarde

Congrats to you and your girl...whoever she may be. That tiny egg is so cute.

However don't be surprised if it doesn't have a yolk. I had one that small about a week ago and it had no yolk...just a membrain type looking thing. I wasn't sure if it was ok to eat. so I just ate the white part.

first egg is always the beat

Doesn't look THAT small to me. I think it is probably a very normal pullet egg. What breed of pullets do you have?

I have Delawares, Barreds, and Red Stars. Yeha not too bad for her first one. My other brown egg layer which is about 3 years old lays eggs just slightly bigger than this one.
