Great!!
If those came from the birds you brought in yesterday,
note that they were already in process ~25 hrs prior to laying.
So you may not see any more until they settle in....
...or they may just keep on laying!

That's great!

What is the red object to the left of the picture? I assume it is a feeder or a water-er, but I have never seen one like that.

The old advice on keeping them locked up in the coop for a week, to me means a single coop/run set up. If you did not have a run, then the coop only. I worry about heat in a shut up coop. When I get new birds, I keep them in the set up, before I let them out.

Looks like a nice coop.

Mine go nuts for Grubblies (soldier fly larvae), which are sold for a reasonable price at my local feed store. They are slowly learning to love grapes, tomatoes and other fruits and veggies.

I assume it is a feeder

I think so too.

Hey, @moremargothanbarbara !
Where in this world are you located?
Climate is almost always a factor.
Please add your general geographical location to your profile.
It's easy to do, then it's always there!
