First egg for this girl. I got this pic just seconds after it fell out...

So eggcited. And yes... I take way to many pics of them too. Eggs and birds so don't feel weird about it KristyMN....

Oh and since I had issues with safety... lost a lot of birds to dogs... wellll... my girls are inside a lot. I do put them back out for the day but it can lead to some funny photo ops.



Who wouldn't want a chicken as a Christmas gift? Though she is probably wondering why we would put up a tree she can't roost in.

Wow. Your girl looks just like me EE. I hope she lays a nice egg like that.

I got my second egg today. Identical to the first and since I was home and keeping an eye on the chickens, I figured out it was my Columbian Wyandotte, and not one of my Barred Rocks, who is laying. It figures. She's the rooster's favorite!

I was starting to wonder if I had a bunch of dud chickens! But went out today and found this!


Laid by one of these two girls...either Beatrice (a 29 week old Buff Orpington), or Matilda (a 25 week old red sex link). Both started squatting about five days ago and have been noisy as all get out the last few days!


They have decided the dog house would make a great nest and were both in there rearranging the straw when I let them out for a little free range time! We have five other chickens that should be getting close to laying too, but these girls are the best candidates for the first egg! It's so exciting!

I love their names!
I think it would be really fun to have an Aunt Bea

Aww she looks like my Beatrice & the Late Ethel. This morning I got my first EE egg from Beatrice - Poor Ethel was just lost to a pack of coyotes, along w/ a few other chickens & 1 duck
Love the tree photo, she does seem very curious about it

Here's my first EE egg Beatrice was just standing inside a nest barrel yest. I thought she was just sad from losing her hatch mate Ethel...then this morning I went out to collect eggs & do a walk about to look for anymore traces of the ****** coyotes that got 4chickens & 1duck. It's the perfect color for a winter starter - pale blue w/ just a hint of frosty green in it.

Congrats- your eggs are lovely! What good girls you have!
Mine and singing and laying happily, treating me to four eggs every morning! Although Mildred is giving me the stink eye when I take them out of the nesting boxes!

OUCH!!!

One of my newly laying ladies popped out a whopper!!!!! Her first big egg Her other friends are still laying small/med size ones

Recently I posted a pic of a pale beige egg I thought was my Ethyl's. She's an EE, and a late bloomer, and along came this nearly white egg that I hadn't seen before, so I decided it must be hers. Their eggs can be near any color I guess. This pic shows all the egg shades I get now, and it turns out Ethyl's laying the pale blue eggs in the middle. I just got the third one today, so now I know the whitish egg was the anomaly, probably from my Wyandotte. I'm soooo happy one of my pair of EEs makes BLUE eggs! Wahoo!

(happy dance)
