Our first eggs!!!!! I have 2 SF's and a buff Brahma that are laying age, and 4 or 5 hens that are a month behind them in age. I think one of the SF's laid the peach egg and the Brahma probably laid the brown egg. I was so excited to find those two tiny poop coated eggs on the coop floor. They were by the feeder, as if the girls were eating and eggs just suddenly shot out of their rears. lol. My DH is building nest boxes for them. He went and bought the wood after work today. Look how tiny their eggs are... This is in comparison to Eggland's Best. The pullet eggs are like cute little ping pong balls.
Congratulations. It's so eggciting to go to the nest boxes and gather all those special little presents. Here is a picture of some of the pullet eggs next to the hens eggs.
How long does it take before they start laying normal sized eggs? I love the cute tiny pullet eggs. And I really keep envisioning them pecking away at their crumble when eggs just suddenly pop out. I would love to know what was going on in their heads.
Quote: "Oop what the ???? I think I pooped! Ow!" Sorry, I know I'm weird. But do you think they realized what they did since it's their first time?
Our girls began laying at the end of June, and laid pullet eggs (about a medium sized egg) for a few months. They steadily got larger, until they reached normal size around the holidays.
