Woohoo! First eggs are the best!

Two of Edie's little eggs among two from Ivy, two from Janet and two giants from the Red Marauders.

I haven't been on very much the last few days.
@LozzyR I'm so sorry for all the problems you are having

Beautiful eggs! Edie's are so teeny tiny compared to those big ones.

Thank you Michelle. The agapanthus on her grave is doing well and I look forward to its first flowers in a couple of years.

She was a very sweet little pullet. I liked her. I would have another Dorking if one ever came my way.

The other two pullets are thriving.

Actually the big news is that Edie is definitely a pullet, because she's started laying. Well ahead of schedule. She may be several weeks older than I'd been told. On her first day as a hen, she laid a tiny egg and two soft shelled eggs. Since then, she's been hiding them in the prunings pile.

I was expecting much larger eggs from her, but I guess she's still got some maturing to do.

It's such good news that she is a she !!
If she is older than you were told maybe it explains how broad she was.

And how developed her comb and wattles are!

They'll get there.
And even if they don't, I'm sure she won't mind! A few of my hens lay rather small eggs, and it actually rather suits me, as a small egg is perfect for my breakfast (I'm not the biggest egg eater)
