I found this lil "guy" in the run. It's our first one.

I was so excited! I pointed it out

to my hubby who told me to pick it up right away before something happened...

one of the chickens promptly fell on it

but didn't damage the egg!

I was starting to wonder if this whole "chickens lay eggs" thing was a myth... but now, I'm a believer... wonder if they will lay golden eggs.... one can dream! Oh, that's what we canadians call a toonie next to the egg. for size comparisson.

My first! Laid yesterday. I locked them up last night in the dark and somehow didn't step on it. I found it this morning before I let them out. I'm assuming it's from my RIR, who was hatched on Mother's Day... so she's what, 22 weeks? I found another egg on their perch, but it was a soft shell and was cracked. I don't know if she's just been busy, or if one of my other two are laying. One is a Brahma, one a Buff Orp, both supposed to be a month older than the RIR, but I think the Buff Orp is younger. She's just now not sounding like a baby chick.

OEGB's first egg, laid on Sunday. She's laid two more since and her sister has also laid two! Looks like they want to lay every other day or so.

Our two BAs are about 27 weeks and just starting laying!!! Selma laid her first egg this afternoon after 4pm -- I had just been out to check on her because she had been making weird yipping sounds and singing her egg song all day long! I left to pick up my MIL & we came home around 4:30 to this little egg in the run! It was still hot!

Now we're just waiting on Patty to lay! Baby probably wont lay until spring because she'll reach maturity during the winter.
