Post Your First Egg Pics-Part 2

I have 8 young ladies and have been waiting anxiously for them to start laying. They are almost 22 weeks old so imagine my surprise to discover this awesome little stash in the crape myrtle today. Now I already have 5 full grown ladies all of whom lay brown eggs and they lay strictly in the coop. So imagine my surprise to discover white eggs. My new girls are 3 BOs, 4 RIRs and 1 red ranger.View attachment 2010294View attachment 2010295
Here's some pictures of the likely culprits
Did you ever figure out who laid those eggs? They seem huge... almost like my duck eggs. Beautiful setting, btw.

This is not a first egg, but from my duck that recently started laying. We love the duck eggs!

The last three were the first eggs I ever got from chicks I raised. The far left was a duck egg a friend gave me, the 2nd from the left was a store-bought large egg, middle was a barred plymouth rock egg, second from the right was my first partridge Penedesenca egg, and the last one was from a exchequer leghorn. I was so proud of their first little eggies :)

The first egg of my exbatts was laid in the cardboard box, as they didn't get off immediately, they were too scared. It was the only egg of the day. The next days I found one or two eggs scattered everywhere, but not in the nest box and I've noticed that some of them expelled the egg even standing up. Little by little they learned to use the nest boxes and to pick the straw to make the nest more confortable. About a week later I've had a surprise: I found eleven eggs under a dry lavender bush in the garden... wonderful!
