Oooooooh, so pretty! How old is the chickie who gifted you with that beauty?

See, I already 'got me' one of those, and she's just about 26 weeks old. I'm just wondering, in comparison, how much longer might I have to wait.
This girl is about 23 weeks, W/BW Ameraucana. I've got 8 pullets, this is the first one to start laying. I've got 2 more the same age, and the rest are about a month younger. I can't wait till they are all laying.
I don't know what to do with it. Its to pretty to crack and eat. How do people blow out the egg to keep the shell?
There is a whole thread devoted to blowing out and decorating eggs here: https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=160244
You should be able to find your answer there. If I knew I would tell you....keep meaning to read the thread and never seem to find the time.
