MILESTONE DAY!

Went to check on the ladies at bedtime, and someone left me a present

Stella it too

It's so little and perfect and cute

Based on the squat/wing spread I got this morning when I gave Willamina some pets, I'm 99% certain it's her egg.

Second egg today

Are these likely from the same pullet and the speckles on the one is a fluke, or from two different girls?

My guess is 2 different girls

Ok next question then. How often should I be expecting eggs? And when do I start worrying if more eggs aren't forthcoming?

Don't worry. They're still acclimating and it's getting cooler, they will be slowing down on production anyway. As long as they're not obviously in distress (check the threads on how to ID being egg bound) , you should be OK. You are all learning this together

Agree with what Azure said
Depending on breed I would expect an egg every 2 or 3 days for the first 2 -3 weeks.
But as Az said you are heading into cold season so they may lay less frequently

Judging by the shape (round) I'd say it's probably the same bird laying.

I was beginning to worry that Willamina hadn't layed another egg yet. But then I found one *buried* in the nest box. And it looks like George has started laying too!

But I'm going to have to work on the nest boxes, because 2 of the eggs have been layed in the corner.
