Was starting to worry that our chicken Dorothy hadn't laid eggs yet caught her coming out of our garden this morning and glad I checked out she had a nice little bundle of eggs she had been hiding
first 'Easter egg' today, it's a tiny thing and I found it under the roost pole. So perhaps it's a 'oh what's that' moment. The egg on the left is the smallest brown egg I have, about the size of a commercial small. Since June 6 this makes a total of 7 eggs. 7 hens, but I think maybe 3 are laying usable eggs, I've also gotten 3 rubber eggs in that time.
My first egg!!! Laid 6/27/14 by my 17 1/2 week old Easter Egger. The silly thing just laid it on the deck under the stairs, and then I found another one sitting on the cement slab right in the middle of their pen door. I think she has no idea where to lay... And the second photo was a comparison of mine to the large store bought egg.
