She started laying at 15.5 weeks. I took pictures
of all 5 eggs she laid her first week. I can't believe
the dif. in size and color. Notice the dark brown eggs.
These dark ones came after she didn't lay the day before.
I told my husband they were dyed longer (extra day)

I can't wait for my other 5 hens to start. It's been a great week
gathering eggs, hope you all have a wonderful weekend. Think cool-Finally!
1st egg 6/20 double yolk

2nd (smaller than 1st) and 3rd(gigantic)double yolk, I couldn't close the lid
on the egg carton.

Egg #4 6/24

Egg #5 6/26 Darker agian
 
She's the only one in the nest box nesting. I'm usually out
their in the afternoon when she starts nesting, nobody else is
squatting or showing signs.
 
You'd be suprised how stealthy some of them are about sneaking in and laying when you're not looking...

Nice eggs! What are you going to do with your first egg?
 
We ate the first three. We will
eat the other two Sun.morn. Not sure
what the hen is - someone last week said
golden sexlink?, prod. red?


I have 2 BO hens the same age but they hardly have any comb
 
Mmmmm - YUM!!! Fried Egg Sandwiches!!!
