THE FIRST EGG MY CHICKENS LAID

[IrisChicken]

Thanks!

Sadly, my mother won't let us let them hatch.

Only for eating *sigh*

Maybe one day..

Same here...so funny to hear them practicing!

Yes it is. And the anticipation of waiting for them to finally lay one day was great

I asked my mother if we could hatch SOME of them, and she said yes!!

I'm so happy!

Yeah, I guess I'm a lucky teen.

So, I went back over my calendar and our current flock. (We have raised probably 30 birds this year but sold and gave away some.) I've determined that as of this week we have:

Three at 22 weeks (Della, Chickoletta, and Maranda, a blue copper maran);
Two at 20 weeks (Mary and Summer);
Four at about 18 weeks (Thelma and Louise, Leghorns, an ISA Brown and an RIR rooster we need to get rid of);
Five at 17 weeks (Buttercup the Sicilian, and our four bantams Presley, a white crested black polish, Angel, a silver Seabright, Chip, an old English Game, and Rochelle a black Frizzle Cochin);
And our baby Tinkerbell (or Cletus if it is a roo) is 14 weeks. This one is actually bigger than the 17 week old buttercup and has some longish tail feathers but it isn't shiny at all so we shall see. Sold as araucana but doesn't have muffs or tufts so really not sure.

My chickens are a bit over 12 weeks old so they went laying yet. But I'm super eggcited to see what colors and varieties I get! (Mine are all mixes of breeds)
