We got our very first eggs last week. It all started with one on Wednesday of last week. We have gotten one almost every day since then with the exception of 3 days I think. Today however, we got TWO!!! I am thinking that we now have two hens a laying and 17 still dancing or whatever they want to do with in the song. hahaha I know the first layer was a Lt. Brahma but have no clue which of the other girls laid their first today. the first started laying on the ground in the coop until I showed her the nesting boxes with the eggs in it. The very next day she laid hers in the box like a good little chicken. Today, the new one I almost stepped on in the outside run area. i need to now figure out who that one is so I can give her the tour of the nesting box area as well so she can be more informed. I thought the one would share her education with the rest but I guess she felt no need since she was the only one at that point. lol
Anyone out there that can tell me when they will start to lay a larger egg? The ones I have gotten so far are small. I know they all start out that way but how long does it normally take before they produce a full size egg for their breed?
