Post your FIRST EGG pics!

Woo Hoo! I found my first two eggs from my Wyandottes. Completely unexpected. I think they are both from the Blue Laced Red Wyandotte Bantams. But one could be from either a gold laced or silver laced standard.

Our BO's were 19 weeks yesterday... middle egg is storebought for comparison ...

Don't know who's responsible, but they sure like hanging out under the picnic table.

I gotta get a life! I even texted my kids to show off our new little eggs!

These are all the eggs from the last 3 days. (I've eaten a few but saved the shells until I could find the camera!) On the first day I got one green & one brown; the next day one bluish; then 1 green & 1 brown again yesterday; and today I got 4, including the first white one (which isn't in the photo because it had a really fragile shell that was already crushed a little and basically fell apart when I was cracking it into the pan). I have 2 EEs and it seems one is laying a more bluish egg than the other, who has a lovely green. And even the browns are different shades. One today (in the middle of the picture) is almost pink! I wish I knew whose it was.

Here is the comparison in the pan with a store-bought egg. The store-bought yolk broke so the size difference looks way more extreme than it really is, but the color says it all. And that's a free-range organic store-bought egg!

I'm so excited my girls are almost all grown-up now!

ETA: Oh yeah, they were exactly 20 weeks old when they laid the first two.

Is that a question? I don't know, but it could be. My brown-egg breeds are buff orp & barred rock, and I did see one of the BOs nestling in the spot on the ground where I found the egg. (I am unfortunately finding about 1/3 of the eggs on the ground...) Do BOs typically have pinkish eggs?
