TFW your chickens are poisonous smoke refugees in the basement bathroom and one of them lays her first ever egg in the cubbyhole adjacent to the shower.

Congratulations! You have cared for them well. Want to share the breed/gender if you know it?

She is an Austra White and somewhere in the 21-22 week ballpark (I don’t know the exact hatch date, but we brought them home on April 30th so she was at least a few days old at that point). And thank you!

And she looks at you accusingly, like , "C.mon, Mom, can't you do better than that?" I LOVE it!

Oh, oops I meant the 20-21 week range. Look at me getting ahead of myself here.

Gender? She laid an egg!
I agree, she’s gorgeous. And so funny!

Thank you! And maybe that’s why I got confused about how old she is— this week/week and a half or so (AND COUNTING!) of being on air quality house arrest has felt like three and a half weeks. And we are lucky and haven’t had to deal with evac orders/properties destruction, etc.

I assumed they meant breed/age rather than gender. I’ve definitely had similar typing accidents myself, haha
