Claude--the one that laid that huge egg--laid a much more normal egg yesterday, and another hen laid it's first egg today but I don't know which it was!
Unfortunately, this one seems to have the same problem as my Ameraucana in that it doesn't lay in the coop. Back when we just had the ameraucana and the others were chicks, we'd have to do a literal easter egg hunt in our yard. She likes behind the shed or inside an old cactus the best.
Whoever laid this little tan egg is following in her footsteps--found this one in a shallow hole by one of the mesquites. I think its from Alice, my Rhode Island Red.

Top egg: Claude's second
Bottom egg: mystery layer's first (maybe Alice)

Yay! At 22 weeks, two days, we got our first egg. The weather has been very cold, but the sun came out today, and there in the nest box next to the golf balls was a little green egg. Stripey, our little EE who makes a ton of noise all the time is the likely layer. I would have thought our our RIR or one of the BOs would've been first. All is forgiven, Stripey! (Although I really hope she calls it with the constant racket).

Here's a better picture (under more light) in which you can see how green it is:

My RIR finally paid her rent! She laid it right in the nesting box like a good girl. Let's hope the others follow suit...

The egg in its box (along with the decoys):

We got our first egg today! Mum thought I'd put one of the fooling eggs in, but I haven't had the time yet, and there it was, just chilling on the top of the shavings by the roost! .... Yep, that chicken sure missed the nest box by like 12 feet LOL.

Here it is by itself...

And next to a store bought egg, I ran out of eggs when making gingerbread and Macs only had white eggs, so sue me.
