The chicks are 19 weeks old today. I was expecting the Barred Rocks to be my first layers of the group but found a little surprise in the egg box this afternoon.

The small egg is from the chick. It's next to an egg from one of my older hens for size comparison.



I was shocked to see that the Easter Egger was the first girl to lay. We'd not seen her squatting but had found her nosing around in the nesting box and heard her singing an egg song the other day. She has virtually no comb and what little she does have is very pale. Quite a pleasant surprise!
 
I do believe the hatching factory has started! Now I have twp green eggs! So that's brown, white, pink - just need my blue and now I covet some purple ones!
 
Really? You have a cockerel that lays eggs? You said, "I watched this one get laid by my favorite chicken, Antoine (a golden sex link) this morning!

It's his first egg! It's so little!"
Then your other cockerel, named Jesus, laid an egg!

Did I miss something? My rooster hasn't laid an egg yet! What's your secret?

I just died laughing!!! Oh my goodness, I've called Antoine a he since I got her, I don't know why, sorry, I guess that is the downside to naming hens with male names.
