Post your FIRST EGG pics!

Put my 3 stooges (2 white leghorn hens and a mongrel EE rooster) out at about 6 am and we sat and had morning coffee together as usual before they wandered off into the woods. I got the best surprise ever when I went out to check on them. The rooster was screaming cause he couldn't find one of his girls. I found her in the coop alone at about 8:00 am her egg was still warm. The other girl laid her first egg in the coop around 11:00 am. My son had scrambled eggs for lunch, he said they were the best eggs he ever ate.

First Eggs

Such good hens, they laid them in the coop. My freind has a bunch of hens from the same hatching and they have been laying for weeks, I was afraid they were laying them out in the woods. I would hug them but as they are leghorns they are just content to sit next to me and talk to me, they really don't like to be handled, so we just hugged the rooster, he loves snuggling.

We got our first egg a few days ago! It was from a White Leghorn....And to think I thought SHE was a HE and was about to get rid of her...then I was told she was just doing her chicken song and out came an egg by the end of the day! ;-)

Here are my girls...both absolutely through the roof over the egg! I can't figure out how to post a picture...but here is a cute video!

We have been waiting and waiting for our girls to lay their first egg, we have 2 older hens that are laying and 8 pullets in the coop, so I got a happy surprise when I went to clean the coop and nest boxes

Our EE, Buckeye, she popped her head up when I opened the man door to the hen house

after giving her some time I peeked into the box and she laid her first beautiful egg!

we are now waiting for her sister to lay her first egg

How exciting! I need to stop reading this thread, though, because I'm getting way too jealous/anxious. Of course, it doesn't help that Husband askes several times a day, "Have those da****d chickens laid any eggs yet?"

They have to be getting close! Someone tried out all the nesting boxes today.

Here is mine! Technically it is my second, but she was prolapsed with the first one and it was stuck just outside of her vent, and when I had her picked up it came out and fell to the ground and broke.

My Ameraucana pullet Mama laid this yesterday, she is 21 weeks old. She laid another one today. They are such a pretty light blue green color.
