I didn't take a picture before cracking the egg because I thought my neighbor was playing a joke on me, because the first egg showed up at just 16 weeks - I wasn't expecting any until about 20 weeks. I didn't believe it was really our "first egg" until I cracked it in the frying pan and it had three small yolks in it!!
 


The tiny egg in this pic was laid by one of my Welsummers. It was her first egg, and she laid it right in front of my doorstep. Now she lays large size eggs in the coop (not in front of the doorstep).

That's impressive! I have cracked open double yolkers, but never triple.
 
Not completely our first egg but 2 of 3 are.


From left to right. Our first americana egg today! Our first RIR egg today and our 11th ISA Brown egg!

OK, I've heard of a pullet's first egg being small but that is ridiculous! The Barn Swallow egg I found when I took down a nest (the three that hatched and flown a couple of weeks earlier) was bigger

Glad she's come up to expectation after the "trial" egg.

Flutters, my Trader Joe's store bought fertile egg pullet, that I hatched on August 20, 2012 laid the first egg at our home today! She was acting weird, hanging around in the coop alone, and seemed a bit agitated. Since she is so sweet, never runs from me, always lets me pet her and pick her up, I let her out of the coop to wander the back yard. When I went out to look for her a while later, I found her behind our old pool heater between it and the house, digging a little spot and sitting there as if she were brooding! I thought, oh wow, no not there! So obviously the 5 gallon bucket I put in there on it's side wasn't going to cut it for this leghorn! I tried to think of something she would like better... and I remembered we have one of those deep kitty litter boxes that have a hole on top in the lid. Well, I saw that if I put it on it's side, so the hen could go in the hole, that she should feel very enclosed and comfortable in there. Nice and safe. I set it all up in the coop, put her back in there, and then checked on her a few hours later! Low and behold, there was an egg! Yaaay!!! No, no, not in the nest contraption I had lovingly put there for her, but outside next to it,

Well, maybe tomorrow she'll try the nesting box I put in there
