My first egg but who layed it?

[CrazyChicken Lady]

Well maybe a local breed of bird layed in your nest box? I constantly have birds in my coop because of the food. its very possible a bird tried to build a nest in your coop, its just not possible for a pullet to lay a 4 months

It is literally not possible to have any of those breeds lay at four months. I’m thinking another bird species or something? Do you have any birds that are at least 6 months?

 

[Boccom]

I’m pretty sure it’s 6 months

No I’m sure that pullets first lay eggs at 6 months. ( Also there’s no such thing as a fart egg ) Sorry it must be one of your hens, it’s very possible for a chicken that lay one color of egg to lay a other color of egg. A pullet just can’t lay at 4 months, they haven’t matured enough. Hope that helped

No Im sure all my pullets started laying at 4 months all 5 batches of chicks did

Uh then someone lied to you about their age. That is physically impossible.

What breed are they?

 

[Aunt Angus]

You can check their vents and/or their pelvises. A laying hens vent is larger. And her pelvic bones will be farther apart

this is an odd story the dad was a white leghorn and the mom was buff orpington and all 9 were barred

 

[Aunt Angus]

It's not impossible for 4 mo to lay. It's just unusual. High production breeds and crosses are more susceptible to early laying.

And fart or fairy eggs are a thing. That's what you call an egg with no yolk.

I don’t know what to say. It is physically impossible for a chicken to lay an egg at four months. I mean maybe towards five months they might lay but 14 1/2 weeks is the absolute minimum age for the earliest laying breeds.
