Quarantine flock has begun egglaying

[millerjen]

Ok I don't know who yet but this new flock is about 18 1/2 weeks old is showing signs they are laying. In today's egg collection I found a shell-less egg with no yolk amongst my mature hen eggs. I am guessing all membranes look the same so I can't tell if it's my Comet, Leghorn or Plymouth Rock hens. Finally some progress after all that work raising them!

Hooray! The first eggs, even when they have no shells, are always so exciting!

Is the new flock in quarantine or now merged with the older flock?

They have been blended with my older flock. I call them Quarantine because we got them 2 days before we went in to quarantine : )
