Post your FIRST EGG pics!

I would guess you have 2 different layers... but you could hang out with them for a while and see who is laying which egg!

X2, looks like 2 different layers.

Do you eat that many (in cooking, baking, etc.), dry them for future use, or do you plan on selling them? Maybe you share with family, friends, and neighbors. We only have four hens and we do share ours. We pretty much keep our kids' families in eggs just with our four!

my one daughter is a nurse and she takes a lot of them to the doc and nurses, we do eat them and we have a couple who buy 3 to 4 dozen a week, we put a sign out on the front yard yestersday, oh we also give to the gas man and a few friends, but we do live in chicken land in de so it is hard to sell them. most every other house has chickens

Great looking flock. Don't think I could go in there with treats….would be like the year hayride brought kids around our neighborhood for halloween….60+ children running at us…really scary.

I have only 6 hens and they jump, push to get closest for treat time. Bet yours do as well.

yes we have a few that jump up on our arms but the rest just run all over our feet and a couple well get out of yard when i go in it, we can not free range here, if i had a fence i would but it would just cost to much for 3 aches

Mine mugged Hubby for some treats so that he dropped the whole open bag and they had a field day!!!

yes it could happen to me too, my hubbie can go in and he sets and talks to them all if he has a chair they would jump in his lap, he love him, i go in with treats and they have it ate before i get it out of the pan, and pie days are funny

My jumper occasionally gets bumped out…as she jumps and others jockey for front, she ends up in the yard. We don't let ours free range, and it used to scare me she would "get out"….but she always runs immediately back in, cause that's where the treats are.

Been waiting, waiting, waiting, for eggs. In May I started with three of each; Welsummers (now one), Easter Eggers, Brown Leghorns (now two), lost a few to predators. Also ordered some 'mystery chicks' and my kids forced me to keep one Easter Egger bantam, and one golden laced Polish that they fell in love with. I have one Welsummer roo also.
Heard the chicken song this morning! Looked in the nesting boxes, nothing. Over in the corner of the coop sat a chicken and eggs! Never noticed them, they were well hid, I have a large 8'x16' coop and it was in the corner behind their roost. Five eggs!

Guess which one laid the first egg?

The Easter Egger bantam! I thought it was going to be the Brown Leghorns first.

They were greener before I washed them. My daughter was some happy hers was the first.

? the Polish?

Sorry I started on the laptop, pic was on my phone. Have you had Polish? I've heard they arn't the best of layers because they have been breed so many years for show instead of utility. But I was forced to keep it cause my daughters fell in love with the puffy head. They think she is the friendliest because they can pick her up, I think it just doesn't see them coming so they get lucky it doesn't have a chance of getting away.
