got home and there was a second first egg! Now waiting on the other 10 to start laying.


Awesome. I have 6 more that ace a month or so away from laying. They are Easter eggers still have pink combs but starting to change slowly. I can't wait for my colorful eggs
 
Got our first eggs! We have 3 RIR, and 2 Plymouth Rocks. Not sure who is laying the bigger egg..

We got our first egg today…it was so exciting! We have three 19 (and a half but who's counting) week old barred rocks that we've raised from day-old chicks and Amy, the least developed of the three (at least in terms of showing imminent egg laying signs like reddened comb/wattle, squat, etc.) laid the first egg of our first ever flock this morning around 11am. I had a feeling she was close since she got into a couple of the nest boxes earlier in the morning (none of them had shown any interest in them prior). She sat in one for about 30 minutes then hopped out and continued free ranging with the other two. We went inside to make breakfast and upon returning outside found that she had laid the egg in the shavings on the coop floor! The nest boxes had been lined with just straw, so I added a layer of shavings as well as I assume the nest boxes weren't comfortable enough for her. The egg was small (weighed only 1.25oz) but was perfect in our eyes; hard, light brown shell and a beautiful bright orange yolk with healthy albumen inside. Penny and Bernadette are now on the clock for their first eggs!
