I think your right and there are two laying eggs. We have gotten two a day now for a couple of days!! I'm so glad these girls are starting to lay eggs, seemed like it was taking forever!

My NHR just started lying about two & a half weeks ago....she laid her first, took the next day off, laid for four days, took a day off, laid for 4 days & took a day off etc....she does not lay past 3:00 in the afternoon. What color egg has yours laid? Mine does not stay on the nest very long after she has laid...they all have such individual personalities and quirks!Thank you! I went out there and cleaned out the box and put the egg back, when she saw me clean it out she hopped out of the coop and hasn't gone back in so I took it back out. Does anyone know how many eggs/how often/how many/ect.. I can expect from a New Hampshire Red? I figure we will just start checking the box every day from now on! We are super excited about her first egg!! We have four of the new hampshire reds and two younger ones, not sure what they would be called, but they are about a month and a half younger. One is a White Rock and the other is a Jersey Giant/White Rock mix. I am new to chickens so I'm just now learning about each breed.
One of my girls produced my and her first egg today. I don't know which hen it was though. The egg is small and brown. I thought this morning there was a lot going on in the sleeping area, I had put new strain in and one the hens was busy rearranging it. Is there anything special I I should do with the egg? Put it in the fridge? Or leave it out?
Eat it! (I leave mine on the counter until I’m ready to eat them.)One of my girls produced my and her first egg today. I don't know which hen it was though. The egg is small and brown.
