My Red Star pullets from Murray McMurry were born 2/6/2015, the first three laid eggs 6/30/2015 at 21 weeks. Pullet's first egg and it weights 4 3/4 oz! there was an egg inside the egg! and there was a yolk inside the egg with-in the egg.
Oh My Goodness!!! I didn't know that could happen (egg in an egg w shell) but I am learning lots of chicken things I didn't previously know. I certainly knew that one could get double yolks but what you showed made me go "WOW". Thanks for sharing. Kay in NC 9.14.15
Just got our first egg yesterday! I don't know who it's from, we have 5 hens. We had to leave them in the run yesterday because no one was home, so I'm kind of worried if it was a coincidence or if they are actually already laying around our yard when they free range.

I was so excited to get my first egg yesterday and a second one today. I think i squawked louder than the chicken that laid it! Still not sure who laid it. I have 3 EEs, 1 welsummer, 1 cuckoo maran, 1 GLWyandotte, 1SL Wyandotte, and 1 silkie.
