Congrats on your first Egg from your EE what color are they? Brown, green or blue? I can't wait to see what color I will get from my EE's
so I have learned to be patient with them. I also thought my SS was laying but then a few weeks ago I witnessed my bantam Brahma laying the egg that I thought was hers. Sigh. It's hard to figure out when I have so many girls that should be coming into lay. Even with having bantam and LF, it can sometimes be hard to tell if a small egg is a mature bantam egg or a pullet LF egg. The color only helps so much since many are so similar! I did get a new chocolate egg this week and it could be either my Barnevelder or my Golden Cuckoo Marans, but I think it's the Marans as she looks more mature physically. I have not seen either one mate, though, but who knows what goes on when I'm not home. 
: 28 are chicks (2 large fowl and the rest bantam). They are being grown out and the majority will be sold. 4 are adult guineas - 2 pairs, and their eggs are incubated and the babies sold. 5 are juvenile guineas. I have two large fowl cockerels and 12 large fowl hens, but only 8 of those are laying. Once I get some olive egger babies then I will be getting rid of the Marans rooster. I have 15 bantam pullets and hens. One is raising babies, another is broody, and some are immature which leaves me with ~7 laying and they don't lay every day. I have 5 bantam cockerels and 2 bantam roosters and will be getting rid of most of them too once I decide on my breeding plans.
