I found my very first egg today! in the nest box to boot! it has to be from Wilma, a Barred Rock, she's the noisiest squatter of the gang, and I have believed for weeks that she would be the first to lay. Betty, another BR and Rose, a RIR will be next... I'm way too excited... it's "just" an egg... but... I've been waiting and waiting...! the gang will be 23 weeks old on Friday![]()
Congrats and many more. I always get excited when a young hen starts to lay.
