My daughter is so excited and can't wait for them to hatch...I hope our bantam hen knows what she's doing

Hey everyone! WE GOT OUR FIRST EGG TODAY!!! Woo Hoo.
We work during the day, so I have no idea when it was laid. We let them out to graze around 6 PM or so every evening and since today they turned 20 weeks, I've been looking each evening for the past week or so for eggs. I could see where one of them had been in the two end nest boxes, but no eggs. Since I knew from this site that they will lay anywhere, after checking the boxes, I go around back to the clean-out door and open that just to look inside and tonight, there it was. In a corner right underneath the nest boxes. One of my Barred Rocks, Ginger, was standing over it kind of pecking at it a little bit, so I got in there and got it immediately. She hadn't hurt it, thankfully. I'm crediting her with being the one who laid it since I really have no idea...she was the only one there and I don't know when she did it. So, without further ado, here are the photos!

It looks white in this pic, but it was a light cream color.


I placed it next to a grocery store bought egg and it's clearly a brown egg. AND...a bit smaller.

But who cares? It's my FIRST EGG!!!!! Woo Hoo!!
 

First eggs from my girls! Got home form work to find these beauties! Not sure which of my ladies produced them, but regardless, I am thrilled!
 
I have 3 red sex links and 3 amber links, so there from one of those guys!! First egg was a double yolk!!!!
