Our first egg!!

[Robyn_NCal]

We are brand new to chickens and started with our first three chicks - 2 EE and one BCM - on March 17th this year (a picture of them at 3 days old is attached - they were so tiny!). We added Oliver Eggers, a Welbar and a Spangled Orloff two weeks later. I have been checking the next boxes (and pelvic bones) fruitlessly now for weeks since the oldest EEs started squatting at 18 weeks. They oldest girls are right on 21 weeks today.

Yesterday the white one (named Pillow) was singing the egg song for hours, in and out of the next boxes, but still nothing. My husband was making loud statements about chicken soup. And this morning, I found this very small but beautiful blue-green egg! I am over the moon and so excited for more. I honestly thought it would never happen... the wait for that first egg is sooooo looong!
