one of myBuff Orpington hens laid their first egg!!!!
the whole yard was talking about it, all the chickens and the goats chimed in too including my dogs, I was actually afraid to go in the coop because I thought there was a predator in there the way everyone one was talking. lol
but here it is my hen is 29 weeks old
how long till the rest start laying? they are the same age

It is entirely possible being the same breed and I assume the same age that they laid their first eggs on the same day, I would say unlikely but possible. I imagine it is more likely or atleast equally so that one of the hens was laying eggs somewhere else in the coup for a couple of days and they haven't been found yet. We have one hen that laid her first 4-5 eggs in random spots until she saw other eggs in the nest boxes.
