My chickens layed their first egg!!!

This afternoon I found a perfect egg sitting in the nest boxes. I was very surprised about how perfect the egg was and I did not expect the egg to be in the nest boxes because from what I read I expected it to be on the ground somewhere. What was even more surprising was that the egg had two yolks! I am very proud of all my chickens, they are 20 weeks old.

I think my saffire gem layed the egg because she is one of the most mature out of my chickens (not counting the roos/cockerels) and because of the egg color.

Great job for a new layer! My first eggs were always piddly small, a double yolk is impressive

That looks like a huge first egg. Mine started about 20-21 weeks. A couple breeds not laying yet 23-24 weeks now. It's also middle of winter here so I was worried they would wait till spring but all 4 gold comets lay every day and 1 from either australorp or rir. I think it's the australorp. I also got the tiny egg a week ago. It's the size of a water bottle cap lol.

Whoa that's a big one! When I got my first eggs I got about a million pictures of them and kept opening the fridge to look at them. I also purposely stored them in clear cartons so that I could see them! Congratulations!
