My first eggs!!!

[Bluerosesd]

My son has been feeding my girls. He has autism and really enjoys feeding them. I thought he had been checking but hadn’t. So I go out in the pen and all in one laying box I see 10 eggs. One looks more pink than brownish and they are small. Could they be from one hen or could more than one hen would lay in the same box? So excited! My Easter eggers are a few weeks younger than my other girls so they should be laying soon I am one proud mama!

Congratulations on the eggs. I would guess that at least 2 hens are laying. Size will gradually increase.

Definitely! Congrats!!
They all like to lay in the same nest, which can be a problem so I keep a fake egg in all nests to 'spread the love'.

As to how many birds are laying, here's how to tell......
