Love laid her first egg!

Love, my BO, laid her first egg, on Valentine's Day! The coincidence is so cute, as is the egg. (She waited long enough -- she's 27 weeks old!)

Congratulations. But for a buff Orpington that is the shorter side of the amount of time it can take them to lay. I read that they usually lay between 6-8 months.

First eggs are the best! Congratulations!

Thanks, @Carter Martin, I didn't realize they took so long! I have an EE hatched the same day, and she's been laying for a month.

Congrats! Two of my ladies starting laying in the last week. My Australorp Raven and my White Easter Egger Snow. They are both 5 1/2 months old. Yesterday Raven laid & Snow gave us her first pastel green egg (it was -4 F outside!!)

I love the names Raven and Snow! Is your EE white? Mine lays pretty blue-green eggs, too!

Yep all white Easter Egger. Here's a pic. Snow doesn't like to be held but she is friendly and sounds like a duck sometimes

First eggs are magical! Congratulations to you and your girl!

Wow! Snow is beautiful! Mine will come on my lap to be petted, but she's never the first one there. The BO is the one that sounds like a duck, and waddles like one, too, when she runs!
