Place your bets! Who is going to lay the first egg? #1&2 are in

[tuesdays chicks]

well I know what you said about the rock but my bets stands on the rock going next, I plugged up the rest of your pullets till she lays

 

[JetBlack]

Little black bantam would be my #1, followed by the grey barred bantam, then closely, the RIRs.

Yay! Ok, so by the looks of yours, I still have a long way to go . . . my girls are just 19 weeks and my leghorns look NOTHING like your girl yet.
Still thinking your RIR as my other bet though.

BREAKING NEWS....

The EE has squatted for my 5 year old daughter. According to my daughter the GLW aslo squatted but I did not witness this myself. It is funny that she can walk right up to them and they don't let me that close.

No eggs today.

It is a dead heat for the RIR, GLW, EE with the Australop right behind (IMHO). It is anyones race to win.

I'm second guessing myself if the leghorn is actually laying. I'm getting eggs every other day and the color is more cream than white. Maybe the EE is the one that is laying? Only time will tell if I get another white egg.

Today we ave a 2nd egg from the pullets.

I confirmed the first white egg is from the White Leg Horn, she was in the nest box this morning and I got a white egg.

Later in the morning the EE was singing the egg song. I checked the nest boxes and nothing. I then noticed the GLW had gotten herself under the tarp that I have under the deep litter. I kicked her out of there closed up the tarp hoping she use the nest box. I let all the girls out to free range and about 1 hour later all are free ranging but the GLW is not around. I open up the coop and there was the GLW and a little brown egg still warm on the floor in the coop.

#1 WLH
#2 GLW

No one guessed that combo. I am very suprised myself.

Thanks all for playing.

You nailed it.

This morning I heard an egg song and went to investigate. I looked in the window to see the RIR hoop out of a nest box but no egg. Later in the day my daughter collected a brown egg. The brown egg is a much darker shade than the GLW.

When I got home I was treated to a beautiful green egg.

So happy to have a green egg layer.

#1 WLH
#2 GLW
#3 RIR
#4 EE (missed #3 by a few hours)

If I had to guess the final order will be Australop, Barred Rock then the Light Brahma.

I hope everyone had fun.
