New Egg Laying - Question

[wndytyme]

hello,

we have three hens, and one just laid her first egg. It was very small, and from what I read is very lovingly known as a "fart egg" (my kids thought this was hilarious). This was on Tuesday. There have been no others since then. When will egg laying become regular? How long until we get normal eggs?

It's a pullet egg. When you get a fart egg you'll know it. They're about the size of a small acorn and have no yolk.
Pullet eggs are very small but are complete with yolk, albumen and all the normal parts.
Getting the reproductive system on track takes a little while. There will be irregularities. Once they start laying regularly, they get bigger after a couple months.
