Post your FIRST EGG pics!

My first egg EVER today! From 1 of 2 of my 23 week old Barred Rocks. Waiting on the 4 Easter Eggers still! :O) So happy, I was jumping around like Rocky at the top of the steps! COOOOOOL!

Laid most likely by this girl;

All of these eggs are pullet sized, but the others have been laying for a week or two, but this is my very first GREEN egg!!!! If only I knew which one of the two EExBO girls laid it!

YAY!!!

We got our first eggs ever on September 24, 2010 and I know which of the 2 chickens laid them...Laverne!!!

I'm guessing, because I have no idea how chickens do this, that she laid them on 2 days and we didn't notice the first day as I assume chickens don't lay 4 eggs at a time.

She had them behind the chicken coop and outside the run area as she like to fly out, so these eggs were kinda hidden.

The one who laid these eggs is the chicken up front.

Heidi- Yes, the eggs get bigger!!!

My Gladys Kravitz has layed 5 of those in a row- her first 5 days of laying! (thus far, Gladys has taken today off- and deservedly so!)
Today, her flockmate Alice Anne Abernathy layed her first egg, and it was a Big Girl egg, with a double yolk!
These 2 are joined by Molly Mallone, our third layer; this afternoon she gave us a perfect tiny brown egg, her first, just like your pic!!!
That is 3 of 6 pullets graduating to hen status!
Heck of a day at the Chickenarium!!!

Brightest Blessings

We just got our first egg yesterday (and another just like it today). So can't decide if it's from my Polish or my Sebrights? Pretty sure it's not my EE. It was very egg-citing though!

Just as an aside - I look at everybody's total joy at their first eggs (mine included!) and their love for their chickens (again, mine included), then I see those pitiful chickens on television where the sides of the buildings are falling down from EIGHT FEET of chicken poop - one of us is wrong and I think I know who! This is definitely how it was meant to be and there is a reason why our eggs are better and don't have nasty junk/diseases.

You are so right, Deb! My brother in law has a weak immune system and was hesitant to eat eggs from our gals because he thought they might not be as clean/safe as store-bought. I told him he has things the wrong way around! Our hens aren't sleeping in their own s***, eating hormone/antibiotic laced food, stressed and crowded in a tiny warehouse, etc. He's become a total convert.

I found these 3 beauties in the coop this afternoon! NOT in the nesting boxes--just in the corner of the coop!

I think the brown ones are from the oldest birds, 2 BLRW that hatched the 3rd week of April. The cream colored one is a mystery! I have several younger birds, including 2 EE's, but I'm not sure "who dun it"!

Here is our first eggs. 4 on the first day about a week ago!! I guess once someone got started it spurred the rest into gear. The dark brown one was from one of the Welsummers the next day. Since then have been getting between 1-4 eggs a day out of the 9 that are older.

(edited to add pic, was so excited to share I forgot to attach pic!!)

I wish the flash hadn't washed out how blue these eggs are. The tiny one, on the far right, is the first egg from Marilla whose eggs have become progressively larger.
