Do you think the White Leghorn could have laid the egg? she is 16 weeks old, the Tetra Tint is 17 or 18 weeks old.

Here is the gross part of checking. Flip your girls over and see who has the biggest vent. It's not 100% but it's a safe bet...

Okay, thanks. I will give it a try.

One of my Cuckoo Marans has decided to join in (17 weeks):







No - I don't have gigantic hands - this thing is tiny (like a robin's egg). I know a pullet's first few eggs can be small, but when my BSL, RIR, and BOs starting laying, even their very first eggs weren't this micro. Suppose that has something to do with their being bred specifically for egg production as opposed to the marans?

First one came just after July 4th, and didn't even register as "small" on my egg scale!

Where I find them... (and yes, the golfballs worked!)

Using up the store-bought farm eggs (the lower five) and filling in with my own! I've since filled this carton twice!

I think collecting eggs is one of my favorite daily chores! /img/smilies/lol.png


Oh, and some of my girls started around 17/18 weeks, and the rest were laying by 24. And yes, they've been on layer from roughly 17 weeks.

Wow! That egg scale is amazing, I need to get one of those, I've never seen them before.

My chickens are around 19 weeks old, still waiting for that first egg... aaaannny tiiiime now.
