Post Your First Egg Pics-Part 2

[peachRN]

Our first egg ever! We have 8 girls-- Golden Laced Wyandottes, Silver Laced Wyandottes, Rhode Island Reds, and Americauna Araucana mixes. They are just over 18 weeks old, and I found this in the coop tonight! So frickin thrilled

This is Homegirl's first egg at 18 weeks! She's a white leghorn so I expected her to be one of the first. Now waiting on her 6 sisters to catch up!

Post your first egg pics! We are all so proud when our pets sing the egg song for the very first time and lay their first egg. Let's see those proud moments!

This is the very first egg from my Turken who I named Prettie, because she was so beautiful. She had been raised kept on display in a cage at a feed store as a curiosity and I paid way more than I should have to get her free.

This is the sweet girl who gave me the first egg. This was in 2004, so she is long gone, but we'll always remember our first summer of chicken keeping.

We started this new thread as the old one has so many broken links.

This is my first egg from one of my Barred Rocks. I wondered why she was making such a ruckus and sounding off. I found in the middle of the coop this morning. After I took it away she started searching the entire coop and singing everywhere. The brown one on the left is the first egg. Can someone explain why it's so small?

Small chicken = small egg

The above was our very first! It looked like a li'l potato.
Now we've got four egg layers and, well... you can tell which one was a new layer as of today. LOL.
Top two were from yesterday, and the other bottom 3 from today. Plus the fourth which is... well. Definitely a new egg layer. She tried her best!

Congrats on your (and your BR’s) first egg!

Pullet eggs often start out quite small. They should get bigger once her body gets into the swing of things.

Thanks she is 4 months old and what a surprise, she laid another today. The plan was to start layer feed in 2 weeks. So we moved it up with a mix of chick/layer feed, also put out the oyster shell.
