To tell you the truth, I do not know how old they are. I don't remember when I got them. But if this gives you any idea, I have 6 white mixes, 2 BO's, 2 RIR's, 2 BR's and of all of those, 2 have started to lay. So They are still very youngish. I thought they were going to start laying at the end of this month, but I figured wrong.
And yes, the first egg is the most special. I say this was my first egg I got, but that is from this flock. I had chickens last year and they were all killed by a preditor. So technicaly (sp) this is not me 1st first egg. Just my first egg of this new flock. When you open the coop and see that first egg, your heart will skip a few beats and pride and joy will overcome you. Take it from me, you will want to show EVERYBODY!!! It is funny how we get so excited over an egg. Good luck to you and here is to your first egg (soon I hope)!!!
